I demonstrate in myself the effects of the valsalva maneuver on jugular vein size using ultrasound imaging. The valsalva maneuver is a technique used to increase pressure in the chest and abdomen, and is commonly used in medical procedures such as blood pressure measurement and cardiopulmonary resuscitation.
We also discuss the effects of the valsalva maneuver on heart rate and heart rate variability. This can provide valuable information for medical professionals in the diagnosis and treatment of certain cardiovascular conditions.
Watch as we perform the valsalva maneuver and observe the changes in jugular vein size and heart rate on ultrasound. This information can be useful for medical professionals, students, and anyone interested in the workings of the cardiovascular system.
Please be aware that the valsalva maneuver should only be performed under the guidance of a medical professional!
