Blind Vs US Guided Manual Pressure Points

Sponsor: Tel-Aviv Sourasky Medical Center

Summary

the goal of this clinical trial is to compare the effectiveness of manual pressure points (femoral and supra-clavicular) for hemorrhage control by military medics using either the traditional blind manual technique or an ultrasound guided technique in healthy human volunteers. The main question to answer is which technique provides better results with regard to cumulative flow cessation during a 180 seconds attempt. Participants will press on each other's supraclavicular and femoral pressure points, twice each, once with an ultrasound probe and once with their hand, while distal flow is measured using ultrasound doppler.
