Arms and Interventions

Arm	Intervention/Treatment
LPEC/Sellick ultrasound	Procedure: Ultrasound LPEC/Sellick; 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.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

1. Compression of the carotid artery during an esophageal compression manoeuvre [through study completion, an average of 1 month]

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

2. Vascular flow of the carotid artery during an esophageal compression manoeuvre [through study completion, an average of 1 month]

   Measurement of systolic velocities in pulsed Doppler in the carotid artery

Secondary Outcome Measures

1. Measurement of the force to be applied to compress the esophagus without compressing the carotid artery [through study completion, an average of 1 month]

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