Randomized Controlled Trial Observational StudyThe effectiveness of cricoid pressure for occluding the esophageal entrance in anesthetized and paralyzed patients: an experimental and observational glidescope study.
Cricoid pressure of 30N prevented the passage of both small and large gastric tubes into the oesophageal entrance, which the authors believe supports the utility of cricoid pressure in successfully occluding the oesophagus.

Evaluating the long-term retention of a multidisciplinary electroencephalography instructional model.
Clinical decision making and problem solving require a core of basic factual knowledge that must be accessed sometimes months or years after it has been learned. We examined whether 10 compared with 20 total electroencephalogram (EEG) interpretations impacted scores for long-term retention with the residents in the 20 total EEG group assessed with additional examinations. ⋯ Long-term retention was significantly improved after 20 compared with 10 EEG interpretations as evaluated by the assessment tools. Potential reasons for better long-term retention may relate to the total number of EEG interpretations with 2 additional spaced interval opportunities and evaluations reinforcing learning.
