About this trial

As point-of-care ultrasound (POCUS) is becoming more available in the prehospital setting, it can be potentially used for more accurate and directed pressure application, thanks to its ability to image the artery and the underlying bony surface. The investigators therefore aim to conduct a feasibility study on healthy volunteers, to test the efficacy and tolerability of external abdominal compression using an ultrasound probe to obstruct blood flow in the abdominal aorta.
