Does the gum elastic bougie ease tracheal intubation while applying cricoid pressure compared to a stylet?
Applying cricoid pressure worsened laryngeal view. The use of a gum elastic bougie was more effective than the use of a stylet to facilitate intubation.
A five-component capillary morphology score is associated with SBP, DBP, and altered resistance artery structure in individuals with and without mild blood pressure elevation. These observations suggest that target organ damage at the level of the microcirculation can be detected using capillary morphology.
