The use of the Valsalva manoeuvre in the evaluation mechanisms regulation of cardiovascular system – study case

Journal of Education, Health and Sport, 2017
Valsalva maneuver is one of the method, with which we can evaluate the parasympathetic nervous system. The person who is doing the maneuver need to conduct a maximal, forced expiration against a closed glottis.

Evaluation of efficacy of Valsalva maneuver for attenuating propofol injection pain: a prospective, randomized, single blind, placebo controlled study [PDF]

Korean Journal of Anesthesiology, 2018
Background Pain on injection is a limitation with propofol use. The effect of the Valsalva maneuver on pain during propofol injection has not been studied. This maneuver reduces pain through the sinoaortic baroreceptor reflex arc and by distraction.

Chronic obstructive Eustachian tube dysfunction: CT assessment with Valsalva maneuver and ETS-7 score.

PLoS ONE, 2021
Chronic obstructive Eustachian tube dysfunction (ETD) is a common disorder of the middle ear. In recent years, two main diagnostic tools have become available: Eustachian tube score (ETS-7) and computed tomography (CT) combined with Valsalva maneuver ...

Bioinspired Passive Flow Routing to Mitigate Thrombosis in Prosthetic Heart Valves and Cardiovascular Devices

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Bioinspired passive flow routing mitigates thrombosis in cardiovascular devices by redirecting a small fraction of forward flow into stagnation‐prone regions. Inspired by avian alula and aircraft slat mechanisms, strategically placed routing channels restore washout around mechanical heart valves, reducing low‐shear exposure by four orders of magnitude
