Brown et al 1 and Babazade et al 4 describe the use of plastic drapes, whereas Lai and Chang 2 and Tsai 3 describe rigid box designs. 2, 3 In addition, the rigid design forces assistants to stand far off to the side of the patient, which limits help with airway management and does not offer them the same protection provided to the laryngoscopist. Without the hood, Glo-Germ could be identified on the laryngoscopist's hands, entire arms, gown, neck, face, eye protection, mask, and more extended spread around the operating room. We believe our hood maintains the advantages of the barrier design with it offering adequate space around a patient's head and neck for both the laryngoscopist and assistant to provide effective airway management from preoxygenation to extubation. ./cache/cord-336423-rs4bma9b.txt ./txt/cord-336423-rs4bma9b.txt
