Claim 9:
10. A system comprising:
an esophageal catheter including a plurality of electrodes, where a first electrode of the plurality of electrodes is positioned on a surface of the catheter and opposite a second electrode of the plurality of electrodes, where the first electrode and second electrode are positioned at a same axial level;
a first sensor for measuring a left pupil diameter;
a second sensor for measuring a right pupil diameter; and
a controller in communication with the at least one electrode and the first and second sensors;
wherein, upon receiving a first signal from the first sensor based on the left pupil diameter, the controller induces the first electrode to transmit a first recruiting signal that recruits a left stellate ganglion; and
upon receiving a second signal from the second sensor based on the right pupil diameter, the controller induces the second electrode to transmit a second recruiting signal that recruits a right stellate ganglion.
