Text: The supine with epigastric pressure and supine techniques resulted in longer mean postmaneuver R-R intervals (1. 082 seconds [95 % confidence interval (CI) 1. 045 to 1. 119 seconds] and 1. 075 seconds [95 % CI 1. 035 to 1. 114 seconds], respectively) than the leg raise, semirecumbent, and sitting position techniques (1. 053 seconds [95 % CI 1. 019 to 1. 086 seconds], 1. 044 seconds [95 % CI 1. 006 to 1. 081 seconds], and 1. 024 seconds [95 % CI 0. 990 to 1. 059 seconds], respectively), which equates to slower mean postmaneuver pulse rates for the supine with epigastric pressure and supine techniques (55. 5 and 55. 8 beats/min, respectively) than the leg raise, semirecumbent, and sitting position techniques (57. 0, 57. 5, and 58. 6 beats/min, respectively).
