Abstract: Main objective of this review was to emphasize the importance of the electrical cardioversion in Emergency atrial fibrillation management, we also intended to review the other methods of atrial fibrillation management in ED. A conducted search of literature using electronic databases, including Medline, EMBASE, and Cochrane for studies discussing the electrical cardioversion for management atrial fibrillation in Emergency department published earlier up to 2017. Not all patients with acute atrial fibrillation presenting to an emergency department require medical facility admission. It is possible to safely handle and release a part of patients with acute atrial fibrillation in an emergency division observation unit or professional decision system. Management needs to be individualized to each patient relying on numerous factors including patient signs and symptoms. Electric cardioversion of atrial fibrillation in an outpatient setting with a surveillance for at least 3 h is possible in a selected populace with a reduced threat. Patients with a much shorter AF-episode appear to have a much better end result in a worrying quality of life. In spite of a substantial recurrence rate electrical cardioversion has a high patient-acceptance. A high percentage of patients chooses cardioversion in an outpatient setting.
