"Peter Duniho" wrote in message Valsalva, actually. It's not just the Air Force that uses the term. Though, I suppose they could have been the ones to corrupt it into "valve salvo"...but I'm guessing that's just you, since I've never heard it called "valve salvo" before. Yes. Valsalva, or more properly "Valsalva's maneuver". Forcing expiration pressure against a closed airway. Named for Antonio Valsalva, Italian medico of the early 18th century, I believe. |
