BACKGROUND: Pregnancy is a known trigger of novel and pre-existing supraventricular tachyarrhythmias. We present a case of a stable pregnant patient presenting with atrioventricular nodal reentry tachycardia (AVNRT) and application of the 'facial ice immersion technique'.
CASE SUMMARY: A 37-year-old pregnant woman presented with recurrent AVNRT. Due to unsuccessful attempts of conventional vagal manoeuvres (VMs) and refusal of pharmacological agents, we successfully performed a non-conventional VM with the 'facial ice immersion technique'. This technique was applied successfully at repeated clinical presentation.
DISCUSSION: The role of non-pharmacological interventions remains pivotal and may lead to desired therapeutical effects without the use of any costly pharmacological agents with possible adverse events. However, non-conventional VMs such as the 'facial ice immersion technique' are less commonly known but appear to be easy and a safe option for both mother and foetus in the management of AVNRT during pregnancy. Clinical awareness and understanding of treatment options are imperative in contemporary patient care.
