INFECTION
The results of this randomized clinical trial suggest that aerosol box use reduces surface contamination on the torso and face of airway practitioners (predoffing) and prolongs time to intubation, but makes no difference in practitioner contamination postdoffing. Future work should explore the effect of aerosol box use in simulated and real patient care, with outcomes including process of care measures, patient physiology, patient outcomes, and practitioner infection rates.
