Abstract:
:Paroxysmal supraventricular tachycardia (PSVT) is a common medical emergency, and this case report describes an acupuncture treatment of traditional Chinese medicine terminating PSVT. In this case report, a 67-year-old female patient diagnosed with PSVT had a recurrence in the ward; accompanying symptoms were heart palpitations and shortness of breath. Modified Valsalva maneuver, the first-line treatment, failed to convert paroxysmal supraventricular tachycardia. However, acupuncture at Neiguan point (P6) for about 1 min on her right hand successfully treated the patient. This case indicates that the application of acupuncture in the clinic may serve as an alternative and complementary treatment for PSVT. :Die paroxysmale supraventrikuläre Tachykardie (PSVT) ist ein häufiger medizinischer Notfall, und der vorliegende Fallbericht beschreibt die Beendigung einer PSVT durch Akupunktur, die Teil der traditionellen chinesischen Medizin ist. Im vorliegenden Fall kam es bei einer 67-jährigen Patientin mit diagnostizierter PSVT während des stationären Aufenthalts zu einem Rezidiv, begleitet von Palpitationen und Kurzatmigkeit. Die First-Line-Therapie in Form des modifizierten Valsalva-Manövers führte nicht zu einer Konversion der PSVT. Dagegen konnte die Patientin durch Akupunktur am Akupunkturpunkt Neiguan (P6) an der rechten Hand für etwa 1 Minute erfolgreich behandelt werden. Dieser Fall zeigt, dass der Einsatz von Akupunktur in der Klinik eine alternative und komplementäre therapeutische Option bei PSVT sein kann.
