Intubation Aerosol Containment System Video

Objectives: Worldwide efforts to protect front line providers performing endotracheal intubation during the COVID-19 pandemic have led to innovative devices. Authors evaluated the aerosol containment effectiveness of a novel intubation aerosol containment system (IACS) compared with a recently promoted intubation box and no protective barrier. Methods: In a simulation center at the authors’ university, the IACS was compared to no protective barrier and an intubation box. Aerosolization was simulated using a commercial fog machine and leakage of aerosolize mist was visually assessed. Results: The IACS appeared to contain the aerosolized mist, while the intubation box allowed for mist to contact the laryngoscopist and contaminate the clinical space through arm port holes and the open caudal end. Both devices protected the laryngoscopist better than no protective barrier. Discussion: The IACS with integrated sleeves and plastic drape appears to offer superior protection for the laryngoscopist and assistant providers from aerosolized particles.

研究目的：新冠疫情期间，全球为保护开展气管插管操作的一线医护人员，催生了多款创新防护器械。本研究旨在评估一款新型气管插管气溶胶防护系统（Intubation Aerosol Containment System，IACS）的气溶胶阻隔效能，并将其与近期推广的气管插管箱及无防护屏障的场景进行对照。
研究方法：本研究在作者所在大学的模拟医学中心开展，将IACS、无防护屏障及气管插管箱三者进行对照实验。采用商用雾化机模拟气溶胶生成过程，通过目视评估雾化气溶胶的泄漏情况。
研究结果：IACS可有效截留雾化气溶胶；而气管插管箱则存在雾化雾气接触喉镜操作者的风险，且可通过操作臂通道及尾端开放端口污染临床操作空间。两类防护装置的防护效果均优于无防护屏障场景。
讨论：集成防护袖套与塑料覆膜的IACS，可为喉镜操作者及辅助医护人员提供优于气管插管箱的气溶胶颗粒防护效果。
