We demonstrated the differences of overall droplet dispersion between 3 acrylic box models (3.3%-19.0%), plastic sheet (2.8%), and noncoverage technique (26.3%) during tracheal extubation. The plastic sheet caused contamination both on the chest and abdomen of anesthesia personnel. The height of the box might take part in the contamination area as the droplet dispersion may rebound to the surroundings after striking the top. The droplet spreading patterns of panels (A), (B), (C), transparent plastic sheet (D), and noncoverage technique (E). ./cache/cord-302112-l74s05s0.txt ./txt/cord-302112-l74s05s0.txt
