Figs. 2 –4 have been replaced to reflect a more appropriate approach to describing the authors’ reflections on the rigid box design as a protective barrier during intubation. The updated figures and legends are as follows:
Figure 2.
Safe “social distancing” between intubator and patient. Images of routine practice of tracheal intubation with conventional laryngoscope (A), video-assisted laryngoscopy (B), and video-assisted intubating stylet (C).
Figure 3.
A transparent plastic aerosol box as a protective barrier enclosure. It should be noted that restriction of intubator’s hands by such a rigid box design might cause potential hazards.
Figure 4.
A transparent plastic aerosol box design does not allow application of video-assisted intubating stylet inside the box.
