First seen Apr 24, 2026 · Last updated May 24, 2026 · Updated 5 times
Summary
This study uses ultrasound imaging to see if pressing on the cricoid cartilage (a part of the throat) actually blocks the esophagus and prevents stomach contents from entering the lungs during anesthesia in children. Researchers will also test if pressing from the side works better. The study includes 35 children aged 0-17 who are scheduled for surgery or are sedated in the intensive care unit.
