Puis, il introduit dans le ballonnet supérieur qui se trouve donc dans l'œsophage 60 à 80 ml d’air qui vont créer une pression de 50 mm Hg.

In the U.S., air pressure at the surface is reported in inches of mercury while air pressure aloft is reported in millibars, also known as hectopascals (hPa). Scientists, however, generally use pressures in hectopascals. In the rest of the world, measurements are usually given in hectopascals although you will sometimes see them in centimeters of mercury, especially on older barometers. The term "hectopascals" is replacing the term "millibars." 8, record 13, English, - hectopascal
