Description:
Vagal maneuvers are simple physical actions that stimulate the vagus nerve to slow conduction through the AV node and can stop an episode of PSVT. Common techniques include the Valsalva maneuver (bearing down as if having a bowel movement), coughing, or applying a cold stimulus to the face. These maneuvers are often tried first because they are safe, quick, and noninvasive. If they fail to restore normal rhythm, medications such as adenosine are usually given next.
