She was in shock with thready pulses. The rate is not fast enough to be causing shock, so if it is VT, the priority is still to treat hyperK and secondarily to cardiovert. They thought it was VT, but did not shock. On arrival, the patient was in shock, was intubated, and had an immediate cardiac ultrasound.
