Comparison of Various Vagal Maneuvers for Supraventricular Tachycardia by Network Meta-Analysis.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Vagal maneuvers (VagMs) are recommended as the first-line treatment of supraventricular tachycardia (SVT). However, the optimal type of VagMs remains unproven.

Aim

This study aims to compare the effectiveness and adverse events amongst VagMs on SVT via network meta-analyses (NMAs).

Methods

We systematically searched randomized controlled trials (RCTs) that involved adults with SVT and compared VagMs without language restrictions. We determined the initial and final responses of conversion rate to sinus rhythm and adverse events. Risk of bias (RoB) was appraised by Cochrane revised tool, and contribution matrix was calculated. NMAs were synthesized using frequentist random-effects model and presented as relative risk (RR) with 95% CI. The order of pro
