Final answer:

In a stable wide QRS complex tachycardia, the antiarrhythmic infusions that can be used are amiodarone, procainamide, and lidocaine.

Step-by-step explanation:

In a patient with a stable wide QRS complex tachycardia, the antiarrhythmic infusions that can be used are amiodarone, procainamide, and lidocaine. Sotalol is a beta blocker and is not typically used for wide QRS complex tachycardia. The choice of antiarrhythmic infusion depends on the underlying rhythm and the presence of any structural heart disease.
