Question:

I know our standards as an ACP for over 18 years but if SVT encounter in a pediatric patient and long transport. If we patched got approval would this be appropriate based off the attached studies and success rate in comparison to the REVERT maneuver?

Answer:

This technique for pediatrics is still under investigation and requires a more robust study. As it has not yet been proven to be better than standard treatments, SWORBHP MAC would not recommend patching to utilize this technique.

A great review of the study, which highlights some of the methodologic issues, can be found at: https://thesgem.com/2018/04/sgem213-upside-down-you-convert-me-out-of-svt/
