BACKGROUND: The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic places healthcare
workers at risk of exposure to the severe acute respiratory syndrome
coronavirus-2 (SARS-CoV-2). Emergency department (ED) staff are particularly
vulnerable when managing patients with acute respiratory distress due to the
aerosolization of the virus during endotracheal intubation. A simple and
innovative intubation tent was designed with the intent of decreasing the risk of
accidental viral transmission from emergent intubations during the COVID-19
pandemic. PRESENTATION OF TECHNIQUE: The materials and assembly process of the
novel "Corona Curtain" are described in technical detail, with the intent of
allowing other providers to template the concept at their respective facilities.
RESULTS: A total of 36 intubation tents were mounted in the ED at the Medical
Center of Aurora, Colorado, on April 7, 2020, and thereafter consistently used
for all intubations during the ongoing COVID-19 outbreak. The cost of raw
materials and labor for the initial assembly averaged US $ 8.00 per construct.
The price of the single-use plastic cover is variable depending on the vendor
source. CONCLUSION: The new "Corona Curtain" was designed to improve the safety
of ED staff when performing urgent/emergent intubations during the current
COVID-19 pandemic. The concept can easily be adopted to other patient care areas,
including perioperative and intensive care units. Future validation studies are
needed to determine the safety and efficacy of the intubation tents by
quantifying the pre-/post-intubation exposure through "point-of-care" SARS-CoV-2
testing once these resources are more widely available.
