Interventions

Ultrasound LPEC/SellickPROCEDURE

We will perform an ultrasound of the carotid artery and then apply a Sellick manoeuvre and a left paratracheal compression of the cervical esophagus respectively.

Outcomes

Primary Outcomes

Compression of the carotid artery during an esophageal compression manoeuvre

Measurement of the diameter of the carotid artery in cross-section and longitudinal section

Time frame: through study completion, an average of 1 month

Vascular flow of the carotid artery during an esophageal compression manoeuvre

Measurement of systolic velocities in pulsed Doppler in the carotid artery

Time frame: through study completion, an average of 1 month

Secondary Outcomes

Measurement of the force to be applied to compress the esophagus without compressing the carotid artery

use of a dynamometer to measure the force required to exert at the left paratracheal level

Time frame: through study completion, an average of 1 month
