Here we proposed a simple, carton-made, protective shield that provides an effective reduction of transmission of droplets and aerosols during both intubation and extubation. After the A Carton-Made Protective Shield for Suspicious/Confirmed COVID-19 Intubation and Extubation During Surgery shield interrupts operation, it should be discarded and a new one prepared for extubation. When extubation of suspicious/confirmed COVID-19 after general anesthesia is needed, the adjunct protective shield may help minimize droplet and aerosol transmission and reduce operating room contamination. ./cache/cord-274819-xp5q9f0r.txt ./txt/cord-274819-xp5q9f0r.txt
