In this edition of Pediatric Anesthesia, Bryant and Tobias report a laboratory study where there was up to 99.2% decrease of artificial aerosol particles measured outside compared with inside an enclosed clear intubation box using augmented gas flow (suction). 1 At first glance, the concept of a barrier over the patient during airway management seems like a simple and logical option in terms of protecting practitioners from viral infection. Intubation is reported to be a high-risk procedure for aerosol release and transmission of infection to HCWs. Supporting evidence for this comes from a systematic review.
