50 yowf c/o palpitations for 30 min. Multiple previous episodes. Tx c Adenosine 6mg no change. Tx c Adenosine 12mg with conversion to sinus tach and gradually to NSR c LAE and NSST changes. Fastest adult rhythm I've seen

Initially called for a 40 YOF SOB. Initial HR was in the 70s with O2 sat high 90s. Pt c/o chest pain and was cool, pale, and diaphoretic. Imag 2 shows the first 12-lead (sorry for the poor quality). Pt spontaneously converted, then went back into this rhythm a few times. Ended up converting after adenosine was given. Imag 3 shows conversion after adenosine.
25 y/o patient to ER for palpitations. HR 220's, 6mg Adenosine given with no change, EKG shows conversion after additional 12 mg Adenosine given. Pt alert and awake the whole time
ATF 66y/o F supine in bed C/O palpitations x30mins PTA. CAOx3 GCS14 baseline. No prior Cardiac Hx, no c/p, no SOB, no N/V/D, no chest pressure/squeezing/discomfort. Skin signs pink/warm/dry, initial BP88/42, HR158, RR18, SPO2 98% room air. Vegal did not convert, PT converted to S-Tach after 6mg Adenosine, then NSR. PT vitals remained WNL after Adenosine and 300mL NS bolus. C3 to closest Cardiac center. Pt also remained with out C/P or any other complaints. From what I understand Adenosine rarely works with the first and sometimes second dose. Is this true or does it just depend on the pt?

patient in late teens presenting after a collapse, no chest pain, no previous cardiac history, no history of sudden death in family, are there any features in this ekg that would warrant further work-up or is this just a pediatric ekg?
