The alternative vagal maneuver; converting atrioventricular nodal re-entrant tachycardia by a rectal thermometer.
Oxford Medical Case Reports 2024 January
Vagal maneuvers are techniques used to increase parasympathetic tone, particularly useful in the management of hemodynamically stable supraventricular tachycardias. If ineffective, adenosine can be attempted. We present a patient with atrioventricular nodal re-entrant tachycardia (AVNRT), who could not effectively perform Valsalva maneuvers and had contraindications for carotid massage and adenosine administration, that converted into sinus rhythm by using a rectal thermometer. This maneuver was reproduced on various occasions. We suggest that rectal vagal maneuver may provide an additional therapeutic modality for selected patients with AVNRT.
