Measurement of airborne particle exposure during simulated tracheal intubation using various proposed aerosol containment devices during the COVID‐19 pandemic 2020-06-19 .txt text/plain 3654 181 50 Using an in‐situ simulation model, we evaluated laryngoscopist exposure of airborne particles sized 0.3 ‐ 5.0 microns using five aerosol containment devices (aerosol box; sealed box with and without suction; vertical drape; and horizontal drape) compared with no aerosol containment device. Compared with no device use, the aerosol box showed an increase in 1.0, 2.5 and 5.0 micron airborne particle exposure at 300 seconds (p = 0.002, 0.008, 0.002, respectively). To guide our institutional protocols for the airway management of patients with suspected or confirmed COVID-19, we sought to test whether different aerosol containment devices confer any protective advantage to the laryngoscopist specifically with respect to airborne particle dispersal. Our primary research question was how aerosol containment devices (aerosol boxes and plastic drapes) placed over a patient during tracheal intubation compare to no intervention with respect to exposure of the laryngoscopist to airborne particles? ./cache/cord-286878-5nv3ec5l.txt ./txt/cord-286878-5nv3ec5l.txt
