Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Main Objective: - To study the influence of an applied pressure on this upper limb on the progression of the lymph in this limb, using a sphygmomanometer. - To determine the occlusion pressure of superficial lymphatic vessels from the upper limb of healthy volunteers, from the previous observations. ;Secondary Objective: - To show the superficial lymphatic network of the upper limb from healthy volunteers, with the help of lymphofluoroscopy, after subcutaneous injection of Indocyanine Green (ICG) in the first interdigital space of the studied limb. ;Primary end point(s): - To study the influence of an applied pressure on this upper limb on the progression of the lymph in this limb, using a sphygmomanometer. - To determine the occlusion pressure of superficial lymphatic vessels from the upper limb of healthy volunteers, from the previous observations. ;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: after observation and image analysis for each patient | — |
