摘要
As the COVID-19 pandemic evolves, infection with the Omicron variants has become a serious risk to global public health. Anesthesia providers are often called upon for endotracheal intubations for COVID patients. Expedite and safe intubation can save patient's life, while minimizing the virus exposure to the anesthesia provider and personnel involved during airway intervention is very important to protect healthcare workers and conserve the medical work force. In this paper, we share clinical experience of using a video-assisted intubating stylet technique combined with a simple plastic sheet barrier placed over the patients' mouth for tracheal intubation during the Omicron crisis in Taiwan. We demonstrated that the use of an intubating stylet combined with plastic sheet barrier is swift, safe, and accurate in securing the airway in patients with COVID-19.
