Testing of a Valsalva Assist Device (VAD) to Assess Effects on Vagal Tone and Strain Pressures Achieved Compared to a Standard Manometer in Healthy Volunteers Performing Standard and Modified Valsalva Manoeuvres.
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating Supine VM VAD, Supine VAD manometer, and 2 other interventions for SVT and Vagal Bradycardia. Completed, enrolled 75 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
A prototype for a Valsalva Assist Device (VAD), which provides resistance to exhalation, has been developed and is ready for testing in healthy volunteers. There is a need to ensure the device can deliver the required strain and evaluate the physiological response (lowered heart rate) when used to deliver a Valsalva manoeuvre (VM) with and without postural modification.
