AB Content  UpdateJanuary  18,  2016Atrial  Fibrillation  and  Flutter,  Disposition:  Many  patients  with  atrial  fibrillation/flutter  that  receive  rate  control  or  rhythm  conversion  in  the  emergency  department  do  not  need  hospital  admission  and  can  be  safely  discharged  from  the  ED  with  follow-up  arranged.  While  there  is  significant  institutional  and  regional  variation  in  disposition  practices,  we  have  provided  a  summary  of  reasonable  practice  indicating  criteria  for  discharge  and  admission  and  options  for  outpatient  anticoagulation.
