Extubation of patients with Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) is a high risk
procedure for both patients and staff. Shortages in personal protective equipment
(PPE) and the high volume of contact staff have with COVID-19 patients has
generated an interest in ways to reduce exposure that might be feasible
especially during pandemic times and in resource limited healthcare settings. The
development of portable barrier hood devices (or intubation/extubation boxes) is
an area of interest for many clinicians due to the theoretical reduction in
aerosolization of SARS-CoV-2, the causative virus for COVID-19. We present a
review of the current literature along with recommendations concerning safe
extubation during the COVID-19 pandemic. In addition, a focused summary on the
use of portable barrier hood devices, during the recent surge of COVID-19 is
highlighted.
