cord-258071-amkfz940	Brown, Sarah	Barrier System for Airway Management of COVID-19 Patients	2020-04-22		.txt	text/plain	614	40	49	To the Editor A irway management of patients with Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) poses significant risk to involved staff because of the aerosolizing nature of airway interventions. When selecting such a barrier device, one should consider the importance of access to the airway, containment of aerosolization, time required to set up the device for patient use, and patient tolerance of the device. Some barrier devices, while superior at containing aerosolization, unfortunately restrict the laryngoscopist's hand movements and would require abandoning a laryngoscopy attempt to remove the barrier if it proved too cumbersome. After intubation is performed and endotracheal tube secured, the clear plastic drape can be tucked into the drawstring bag, which now contains the contaminated airway space for the duration of the case. The patient could be later extubated under the clear drape, and the drape can then be removed and placed in the drawstring bag along with disposable airway equipment such as the suction catheter and stylet.	./cache/cord-258071-amkfz940.txt	./txt/cord-258071-amkfz940.txt
