New technique to overcome vasovagal syncope

Shahd Alyousef

Almaarefa University, Saudi Arabia

Introduction:

Vasovagal syncope VVS is common in clinical practice and referred to as neurocardiogenic syncope. Initially, there

are tachycardia with normal blood pressure followed by bradycardia which leads to decrease blood flow to the brain and brief lose

consciousness. VVS mostly proceeded by sight of blood.

Methods and results:

A 20-year-old female dental student was completely healthy and asymptomatic till the age of 17 years when

she developed 3 episodes of vasovagal fainting for 1 minutes each, following blood sight. So just before patient start her clinical

practice in dentistry, she was trained on venipuncture Pad simulator several time per day for 3 days without any problem. One month

later, patient start her clinical training at dentistry college (4

th

year) and she was able to inject anesthesia to patients without any

complication also she received her 3

rd

dose of hepatitis vaccine and she was totally asymptomatic.

Discussion:

Avoiding the trigger is the best treatment typical vasovagal syncope. But this is not feasible in our patient as she is

dentistry student. Medical therapy and tension physical maneuvers which showed its effectiveness on certain patients, didn’t work

with our patient. The advantage of venipuncture pads is you can fix it on real patient arm, it has the real feeling of blood vessels

also the back flow of the blood like color during aspiration with the needle and syringe simulated exactly real patient plus it is easy

to perform, safe, fun and inexpensive. Our patient got benefit from training on venipuncture Pad and she was able to overcome

vasovagal syncope due to blood phobia.
