Carotid Artery Analysis During an LPEC Manoeuvre

October 3, 2020 updated by: Benjamin Javillier, University of Liege

Effect of the Left Paratracheal Compression of the Cervical Esophagus and the Sellick Manoeuvre on the Compressibility of the Carotid Artery and Its Possible Effects on the Vascular Flow

Verify in ultrasound the impact of a Sellick and LPEC manoeuvre in terms of compression of the carotid artery and decrease in vascular flow.

Cohorts and Interventions

Group / Cohort
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.

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
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
through study completion, an average of 1 month
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
through study completion, an average of 1 month

Secondary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
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
through study completion, an average of 1 month
