An intubation infection control tent system is described. In an example implementation, an infection control tent includes a cover that forms a space in which a patient can be positioned, the cover creating an infectious barrier between the patient and an external environment, one or more support channels integrated into the cover that provide a rigid structure to the cover, and a drape skirt that connects to an edge of the cover and drapes over a portion of the patient.

A patient airway dome including an adjustable frame having a hinge such that the hinge allows the frame to adjust between an erected position to create an airway dome and a collapsed position that allows the frame to lay flat, a dome covering located over the retractable frame, a suction port which is connected to a conventional device in order to provide negative pressure to patient airway dome, and an arm access assembly operatively connected to the dome covering, wherein the arm access assembly includes an opening in the dome covering and a closure assembly located adjacent to the opening.

Methods, apparatus, and systems for reducing transmission of aerosol droplets in a medical or dental procedure are described. One protective shield system includes a base plate, a shield having at least one transparent section, and a pipe or conduit comprising a plurality of holes thereon. The shield is configured to be removably attached to the base plate to allow attachment of the shield to the base plate prior to the medical or dental procedure and removal of the shield from the base plate after the medical or dental procedure. The pipe or conduit is positioned adjacent to an inner surface of the shield and on at least part of a perimeter of the shield. The pipe includes an end that is configured to connect to a suction system to enable removal of the aerosolized particles from below the shield during the medical or dental procedure.

An apparatus may include a first layer that includes a plurality of inlets and a surface feature; a second layer, where the surface feature opposes the second layer; an outlet, and a pattern defined on at least one of the first layer and the second layer, where the pattern defines a suction path from each inlet of the plurality of inlets to the outlet.

An apparatus may include a first layer that includes a plurality of inlets and a surface feature; a second layer, where the surface feature opposes the second layer; an outlet, and a pattern defined on at least one of the first layer and the second layer, where the pattern defines a suction path from each inlet of the plurality of inlets to the outlet.

A medial isolette is provided. A foldable box-type enclosure and base rail type enclosure are provided which supplies an economical and easily assembled isolation chamber. A flexible drape is provided to further isolate the patient and effectively control a negative pressure environment within the isolette. Access sports with integrated or removable gloves are provided to access the patient when the isolette is in use. A component access panel is provided for ducted connection of patient gas circuits and leads.

A collapsible air isolation apparatus is disclosed. The apparatus may include a collapsible frame including a base and a set of rigid panel elements at least partially enclosing a volume of space, where the set of rigid panel elements is foldably hinged to at least one of the base or another of the rigid panel elements, and where at least one panel of the set of rigid panel elements comprises an open space for mounting a motor for moving air. The apparatus may include the motor for moving air configured to create a negative pressure within the volume of space of the collapsible frame.

A transparent intubation barrier in the form of a box is provided which substantially reduces aerosol exposure and the transmission of disease between patient and healthcare provider.

Equipment for reducing spread of aerosol and other droplets in nasal and oral airways is provided. The equipment includes a shield optionally combined with a drape. The equipment limits the spread of aerosol and other droplets from a person's mouth and nose thereby reducing the need to decontaminate the procedure room after a procedure. The equipment also provides additional protection to the care-provider conducting the procedure. Additionally, the containment unit also reduces the exposure of the person to pathogens during the procedure, e.g., to pathogens present in the room where procedure is conducted and/or pathogens from the care provider. The equipment or parts thereof may be for single-use or can be reused after disinfection.

A disposable patient isolation hood is provided and includes a frame and an isolation element, wherein the frame includes a base and a support bridge, and two ends of the support bridge are respectively connected to the first end portion and the second end portion of the base. The isolation element is flexible, and at least a part thereof is made of a transparent material. The isolation element is arranged to cover the support bridge to form a space that can encompass at least a part of the subject in need. The disposable patient isolation hood is easy to carry and has high mobility, so that medical practitioners can be isolated and protected during medical treatment of patients even in the absence of medical resources or in emergency situations.
