An alternative approach to streamline the #intubation over a bougie? See how the pre-loaded bougie technique simplifies the process due to a loop in the tracheal tube. This technique is particularly useful for clinicians who work alone. Video tip by @jducanto #airwaymanagement

Chlorophyll and Hemoglobin The major difference is that plant blood carries a Magnesium (Mg) molecule where our blood contains a Iron (Fe) molecule. Magnesium is what is responsible for making plant blood green, and iron is what makes our blood red.
