A modified barrier enclosure to prevent viral aerosol transmission during endotracheal intubation and extubation of patients with coronavirus disease

Certain procedures such as intubation and extubation operations are particularly susceptible to generate potentially infectious aerosols that could infect medical personnel [1].

More Information
Summary:Certain procedures such as intubation and extubation operations are particularly susceptible to generate potentially infectious aerosols that could infect medical personnel [1]. [...]to prevent aerosol-mediated viral infection during intubation/extubation procedures, Robert Canelli et al. recently invented an “aerosol box” [2]. [...]limited medical resources are a major challenge in the management and spread of COVID-19. By using the “KS-type aerosol box,” anesthesiologists and emergency doctors who perform intubation procedures, and the medical staff who assist with these procedures can protect themselves from infection, even when dealing with patients who are considered infection-free.
