Modified Valsalva Maneuver vs. Standard Valsalva Maneuver on Emergency Department Patients Presenting with Supraventricular Tachycardia
Background: Supraventricular tachycardia (SVT) is a relatively common dysrhythmia among the general population and a common dysrhythmia presenting to the emergency department. Generally speaking, it is assumed the provider should attempt a vagal maneuver as first-line treatment for SVT, and the most common vagal maneuver used is the Valsalva. Current resources describing the method to perform t...
متن کاملPotential dangers of the Valsalva maneuver and adenosine in paroxysmal supraventricular tachycardia--beware preexcitation.
Paroxysmal supraventricular tachycardia (PSVT) is a common clinical problem. Valsalva maneuver and adenosine are effective therapies for many patients with PSVT, although any conversion to an irregular or wide complex tachycardia should prompt consideration of a preexcitation syndrome. We report a case where the Valsalva maneuver and adenosine, in a patient with PSVT and previously undiagnosed ...
متن کاملParoxysmal Supraventricular Tachycardias and the Preexcitation Syndromes
Paroxysmal supraventricular tachycardia (PSVT) has been a well-recognized clinical syndrome and an electrocardiographically defined arrhythmia since the early days of electrocardiography. The clinical syndrome was defined in European literature in the 19th century. In 1867, Cotton reported on an “unusually rapid action of the heart,” and this was followed by further observations by French and G...
متن کاملValsalva maneuver using a Handmade Device in Supraventricular Tachycardia Reversion; a Quasi Experimental Study
Introduction The use of vagal nerve stimulation is identified as a proper treatment option in patients with stable supraventricular tachycardia (SVT). This study aimed to assess the success of Valsalva maneuver via a handmade device in reversion of SVT. Methods In this quasi experimental study, using a handmade device, vagus nerve stimulation was performed for SVT patients presenting to emerg...
متن کاملDiagnosis and management of supraventricular tachycardias.
Supraventricular tachycardias (SVTs) are rhythm disturbances arising within the sinus node, the atrial tissue or the atrioventricular node. They are characterized by narrow QRS complex morphology on an electrocardiogram (ECG) and rapid heart rate. A correct diagnosis is essential for treatment and can sometimes be challenging as different rhythm disturbances may have a similar appearance on the...
