Yoga in the emergency room: termination of SVT with the Child's pose.
We present the case of a 27-year-old woman who has successfully self-managed her supraventricular tachycardia (SVT) episodes since her teenage years using the Child's Pose, a technique adapted from yoga. This non-pharmacological approach enabled her to independently terminate SVT episodes, a capability confirmed in a controlled clinical setting where the patient's return to sinus rhythm was immediately achieved upon assuming the pose. The Child's Pose represents a solitary and patient-empowering intervention, contrasting with the assistance-dependent modified Valsalva manoeuvre. This case demonstrates the potential for yoga-influenced practices in the personalized management of cardiac arrhythmias.
