No, digoxin is not used in the management of ventricular fibrillation (VF) cardiac arrest. The primary treatments for VF include high-quality cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) and defibrillation. Digoxin, which is a cardiac glycoside, is primarily used for conditions like atrial fibrillation and heart failure, but it is not effective in the acute setting of VF.
