Comparing Two Vagal Maneuvers for Paroxysmal Supraventricular Tachycardia (RVM-MVM)

23. August 2026 aktualisiert von: Salih Karakoyun

Reverse Vagal Maneuver Versus Modified Valsalva Maneuver for Paroxysmal Supraventricular Tachycardia: A Randomized Controlled Trial

The goal of this clinical trial is to compare two physical techniques for treating paroxysmal supraventricular tachycardia in adults. This condition causes a fast, regular heartbeat that starts and stops suddenly. Participants must be medically stable and have the condition confirmed by an electrocardiogram (ECG).

The main question is:

Does the reverse vagal maneuver restore normal heart rhythm more often than the modified Valsalva maneuver before rescue treatment is needed?

Researchers randomly assign participants to one of the two maneuvers.

Participants assigned to the modified Valsalva maneuver sit in a partly upright position. They blow into a 10-mL syringe for 15 seconds with enough force to move the plunger. They then lie flat while their legs are raised for 15 seconds.

Participants assigned to the reverse vagal maneuver sit upright and breathe out normally. They then close their nose and mouth and try to breathe in forcefully for 15 seconds.

All participants have an ECG before the maneuver and continuous heart rhythm monitoring. If normal rhythm is not restored, the assigned maneuver may be repeated up to three times. An ECG is recorded 45 seconds after each attempt. Participants receive standard rescue treatment if the assigned maneuver does not restore normal rhythm or if continuing becomes unsafe.

Researchers also record first-attempt success, rescue medication, electrical cardioversion, return of the fast heartbeat, hospital disposition, unwanted effects, repeat emergency department visits, and catheter ablation during one year of follow-up.

Waffen und Interventionen

Teilnehmergruppe / Arm
Intervention / Behandlung
Experimental: Reverse Vagal Maneuver
Reverse vagal maneuver. Seated participants exhaled normally without force, occluded the nose and mouth, and attempted forceful inspiration against the closed airway for 15 seconds. The supervising clinician verified airway occlusion and completion of the prescribed sequence and duration .
Participants performed the maneuver while seated. After exhaling normally without force, they occluded the nose and mouth and attempted forceful inspiration against the closed airway for 15 seconds. The supervising clinician verified airway occlusion and completion of the prescribed sequence and duration. The maneuver could be repeated up to three times if sinus rhythm was not restored.
Aktiver Komparator: Modified Valsalva Maneuver
Modified Valsalva maneuver. Participants were positioned semirecumbent with the stretcher head elevated approximately 45° and instructed to blow into a 10-mL syringe for 15 seconds with sufficient force to move the plunger, aiming to generate approximately 40 mm Hg of expiratory pressure. Pressure was not measured by manometer. Immediately afterward, participants were placed supine and their legs were elevated to approximately 45°, without knee flexion, for 15 seconds.

Maßnahmenbeschreibung
Zeitfenster
ECG-Confirmed Conversion to Sinus Rhythm During the Assigned Maneuver Protocol
Zeitfenster: At 45 seconds after the final performed assigned maneuver attempt, upon completion or early discontinuation of the protocol (maximum of 3 attempts) and before initiation of rescue therapy
The primary outcome was ECG-confirmed conversion from PSVT to sinus rhythm following any of up to three permitted attempts of the assigned vagal maneuver and before initiation of rescue medication or electrical cardioversion. Conversion was determined using the standardized ECG assessment performed 45 seconds after completion of each attempt. Participants who remained in PSVT after completion or early discontinuation of the assigned maneuver protocol were classified as non-converters.
