Anesthesia & Analgesia, 10/23/09
Rice MJ et al. – The location and movement of the esophagus is irrelevant to the efficiency of the Sellick’s maneuver (CP) in regard to prevention of gastric regurgitation into the pharynx. The hypopharynx and cricoid ring move together as an anatomic unit. This relationship is essential to the efficacy and reliability of Sellick’s maneuver. The magnetic resonance images show that compression of the alimentary tract occurs with midline and lateral displacement of the cricoid cartilage relative to the underlying vertebral body.
