Core Tip
Core Tip: The modified Valsalva maneuver can increase the pressure in the thoracic cavity and the amount of return heart blood in a short time, thereby increasing left atrial pressure and stimulating the carotid baroreceptor synergistically so as to terminate supraventricular tachycardia. The maneuver is simple and easy to operate, has good safety, a low incidence of adverse reactions, can reduce personal and medical insurance expenses, has good economic benefits, and can be popularized in community hospitals and other primary hospitals.
