“Forced inspiratory suction and swallow tool” a novel instrument to convert paroxysmal supraventricular tachycardia (SVT) to sinus rhythm, a case report and introduction of the device
2022, American Journal of Emergency MedicineCitation Excerpt :Patients with SVT present clinically with an abrupt onset of palpitations, dizziness, dyspnea, chest pain, or syncope [4]. Patients with unstable SVT are traditionally managed with emergent electrical cardioversion, while stable patients are managed with vagal maneuvers or adenosine [1]. There are several remedies that have been described to convert the SVT, such as the Valsalva maneuver, holding the breath for a few seconds, or putting cold water on the face.

2016, Critical Care Nursing Clinics of North AmericaCitation Excerpt :This normal signal propagation depends on the electrical homogeneity of adjacent conducting pathways characterized by similar refractory and conduction periods. When there are 2 separate pathways with different refractory and conduction speeds, a re-entry circuit may develop.6 PSVT is caused by re-entry and is typically classified according to the anatomic location of the re-entry circuit.
A prognostic index for the successful use of adenosine in patients with paroxysmal supraventricular tachycardia in emergency settings: a retrospective study
2008, American Journal of Emergency MedicineCitation Excerpt :The other common form of PSVT, termed AV reciprocating tachycardia, depends on an anatomically distinct or “accessory” pathway that may conduct impulses between the atria and the ventricles, while bypassing the AV node. The 2 forms of PSVT may be distinguished in many cases by examining the 12-lead ECG [1]. Several principles should guide the management of PSVT:
