Physical Counterpressure Manoeuvres
for Fainting (Syncope)
Tensing leg and abdominal muscles or crossing legs when feeling faint to increase venous return and blood pressure.
How it works
Isometric muscle tensing increases venous return to the heart and raises blood pressure, preventing cerebral hypoperfusion.
What to watch for
Effective for vasovagal syncope. Requires training and recognition of prodromal symptoms.
