CRICOID PRESSURE(Sellick Maneuver)#criticalcaremedicine #emergencymedicine #airwaymanagement

Also called Sellick maneuver , in this the cricoid cartilage ring is pressed backward by an assistant against the underlying cervical vertebrae, occluding the lumen of the esophagus to prevent regurgitation of stomach contents into the pharynx . Based on cadaver and patient studies, pressure should be applied at 10 Newtons (approximately 2.5 lbs) while the patient is awake and increased to 30 Newtons after loss of consciousness. Despite these recommendations, clinicians and assistants are not routinely trained to standardize application of pressure
