Abstract:
Paroxysmal Supraventricular Tachycardia (SVT) is an arrhythmia with sudden onset and termination, characterized by a fast heart rate and a narrow QRS complex. 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. Here we are presenting a case of SVT, which we converted to sinus rhythm instantly by using a novel tool that has been designed and patented at the University of Texas. This device is named \"Forced Inspiratory Suction and Swallow Tool\" (FISST) and is branded as \"HiccAway,\" which is primarily designed to stop hiccups and is available as an over-the-counter tool. It works by drinking water forcibly through a pressure valve, and it follows \"Bernoulli\'s Principle\": applications of the law of conservation energy.
摘要:
阵发性室上性心动过速(SVT)是一种突然发作和终止的心律失常,以心率快和QRS波群窄为特征。已经描述了几种转换SVT的补救措施,比如瓦尔萨尔瓦演习,屏住呼吸几秒钟,或者把冷水放在脸上。这里我们介绍的是SVT,我们通过使用一种在德克萨斯大学设计并获得专利的新颖工具立即将其转换为窦性心律。该装置被命名为“强制吸气和吞咽工具”(FISST),并被标记为“HiccAway,这主要是为了停止打嗝和可作为一个非处方药的工具。它通过压力阀强制饮用水来工作,它遵循“伯努利原理”:能量守恒定律的应用。
