In order to mitigate the hazards of aerosol generation and enable usage of the closed suction system, we are successfully using a closed system presented in figure 1. The system is composed of a commercially available unit which warms and humidifies high flow air/oxygen blends, connected to closed suction system and antiviral filter. We tested the system using a test lung and a FlowAnalyser PF-300 (Imtmedical©,
