Paul Krediet

Physical Manoeuvres to Prevent Vasovagal Syncope and Initial Orthostatic Hypotension

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

Paul Krediet behandelt in zijn proefschrift fysieke manoeuvres die flauwvallen door bloeddrukverstoringen kunnen voorkomen. Dergelijke wegrakingen zijn een vaak optredend medisch probleem. Het kruisen van de benen en aanspannen van de spieren kan flauwvallen tegengaan of uitstellen. Ook hurken en hurken met het hoofd tussen de benen zijn effectief.
