Outcome

Type	Measure	Description	Time frame	Safety issue
Primary	Compression of the carotid artery during an esophageal compression manoeuvre	Measurement of the diameter of the carotid artery in cross-section and longitudinal section	through study completion, an average of 1 month
Primary	Vascular flow of the carotid artery during an esophageal compression manoeuvre	Measurement of systolic velocities in pulsed Doppler in the carotid artery	through study completion, an average of 1 month
Secondary	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	through study completion, an average of 1 month
