Summary

This study is for patients who will be having surgery and will have a breathing tube placed during intubation. The purpose of the research is to study the time it takes to use a barrier box for placement of a breathing tube. A barrier box is a clear box that sits over the head and shoulders of a patient as a breathing tube is placed. The box is used to protect the healthcare provider's exposure to coronavirus in patients who have COVID-19. The study will not include patients who test positive for COVID-19 or who are sick with COVID-19 symptoms. The researchers want to learn how long it takes to use the barrier box before it is used routinely in COVID-19 patients.

Detailed description

The study will have two groups of 39 patients in each group. Some patients will have a barrier box and some patients will not have a barrier box. Patients will be randomly assigned to the barrier box or no barrier box group. The study will measure the time it takes to place the breathing tube.
