Resumo: Aims: To develop and discuss possible applications of a baroreflex stimulation method, which is achieved by means of a new device that allows the correct and autonomous performance of Valsalva’s maneuver. Methods: A digital manometer was designed and developed by the Microgravity Centre/FENG-PUCRS to monitor intra-thoracic pressure during forced expiration or Valsalva maneuver. Results: The equipment (Valsalva’s Maneuver Equipment) has a pressure transducer (pressure sensor and amplifier), a digital display, a Light-Emitting Diode display and a microcontroller. Preliminary tests indicated that this new device allows the subject to effectively perform the maneuver without assistance. Conclusions: The Valsalva’s Maneuver Equipment is easy to use, light-weight, portable and of low cost. KEY WORDS: BLOOD PRESSURE MONITORS; BAROREFLEX; VALSALVA MANEUVER; EQUIPMENT AND SUPPLIES; WEIGHTLESSNESS.

Métodos: Um manômetro digital foi projetado e desenvolvido pelo Centro de Microgravidade/FENGPUCRS para monitorar a pressão intratorácica exercida durante a expiração forçada ou manobra de Valsalva. Resultados: O equipamento, denominado de Equipamento para Manobra de Valsalva, é constituído de cinco partes principais, sendo elas: um transdutor de pressão (sensor de pressão e amplificador de sinais), um mostrador de caracteres, um mostrador em barra de Diodo Emissor de Luz e um microcontrolador. Testes preliminares indicaram que este novo equipamento permite que um indivíduo realize a manobra de Valsalva de forma correta e sem qualquer assistência durante o procedimento. Conclusões: O aparelho desenvolvido é de fácil manuseio e visualização, leve, portátil e de baixo custo.
