Airway Alert Bracelets: Enhancing Safety in the Coronavirus Disease 2019 Era	2020-08-18		.txt	text/plain	626	35	51	We have designed a medical alert bracelet, similar to a hospital name band, that is placed on any patient where nonstandard equipment (anything other than iView video laryngoscope [Intersurgical, Wokingham, England] plus bougie) was needed to secure the airway or where the person intubating experienced difficulty. They then remain on the patient's wrist for the duration of their ICU stay and provide a visual alert of their difficult airway, regardless of the bed space or even hospital if they are transferred for ongoing care (Figure) . The presence of this bracelet on a patient prompts a review of the electronic intubation notes before undertaking any procedure where the airway could be "at risk," and appropriate measures to be put in place-for example, a senior anesthetist with the relevant equipment present when airway alert patients are proned or deproned.
