Inclusion criteria

  • Adults Volunteers

Exclusion criteria

  • pregnant women
  • people with carotid artery defects
  • people with an anomaly in the oropharyngeal massif

Treatment and study plan

Ultrasound LPEC/Sellick

Procedure

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.

Primary outcomes

  1. Compression of the carotid artery during an esophageal compression manoeuvre

    Time frame: 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

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

    Measurement of systolic velocities in pulsed Doppler in the carotid artery

Secondary outcomes

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

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

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