Clinical Trial Summary

The use of cricoid pressure to prevent gastric aspiration or regurgitation in case of "full stomach" situation or emergency is still controversial in the adult population. Moreover this maneuver is no more recommended in children by some European pediatric anesthesia societies, because of a lack of evidence of its protective effect against gastric aspiration and its possible adverse effects.

A new approach to occlude effectively the esophageal lumen has been recently described in adults and has shown its effectiveness to prevent gastric insufflation. But this maneuver has so far not been evaluated in the pediatric population and could be an alternative to prevent gastro-esophageal regurgitation and pulmonary aspiration in children

Intervention

Other:
• MAVEPPIC: MAsk VEntilation with Paratracheal Pressure In Children
Pressure will be applied with two fingers in the area located between the trachea and the sternal head of the sternocleidomastoid muscle on the left side to compress the cervical esophagus. The force applied (after measuring the equivalent force applied on a precision scale) will be about 10 - 15 N. This force will be adapted according to the child's body weight : 10 N below 20 kgs and 15 N between 20 kgs and 40 kgs

Outcome

Type	Measure	Description	Time frame	Safety issue
Primary	Presence of air artefacts during positive pressure ventilation as evaluated by simultaneous gastric ultrasonography	Presence of antral and/or gastric air artefact described in ultrasonography. US will be perform during positive pressure mask ventilation.	We will perfom a unique measurement of gastric air artefact by ultrasonography after 2 minutes of positive pressure ventilation.
Secondary	The verification of the actual position of the esophagus on the left side of the trachea at the place where LPPP will be applied (feasibility of LLPP)	Left side of the trachea ultrasonography performed before positive pressure ventilation	Before the beginning of positive pressure ventilation during 1 minute
Secondary	The safety of the LLPP maneuver: absence of any significant compression of the adjacent vessels as measured by US.	Left side of the trachea ultrasonography performed before positive pressure ventilation	Before the beginning of positive pressure ventilation and during 1 minute
Secondary	The expired tidal volume and peak inspiratory pressure as measured during PPV to evaluate any difficulty in mask ventilation induced by LLPP.	Expired tidal volume measured exhaled flow on anesthesia ventilator	At the beginning of positive pressure ventilation and during two minutes
