In this manuscript, we describe a negative-pressure intubation hood (NPIH) designed for fiberoptic intubation, which contains aerosols of the patient and better protects healthcare workers who are present at the time of intubation and extubation on oral and maxillofacial surgery cases. To our knowledge, this is the first protocol described for FOI within a negative pressure hood designed to guide providers treating patients with COVID-19. Overall, these studies suggest that our negative-pressure hood could effectively reduce aerosol particle exposure to the provider during aerosol generating procedures, similar to awake FOI. In the specialties of anesthesia and oral and maxillofacial surgery, it has led us to innovate and design a negative pressure patient intubation hood for FOI of patients with difficult airways. ./cache/cord-355177-62v1qhia.txt ./txt/cord-355177-62v1qhia.txt
