Intubated Subjects With the Biocontainment Device
Subjects undergoing scheduled airway procedures under general anesthesia with the Biocontainment Device by anesthesiologists trained in device use. Biocontainment Device For Aerosol Generating Procedures (Biobox): The intervention consists of a biocontainment and aerosol evacuation device (Biobox) that will be placed around a patient prior to the airway procedure and remain in place throughout the airway procedure. The Biobox device is manufactured by National Flag and consists of a re-useable frame with a disposable, plastic torso drape. This is a new device that has not been used previously in a healthcare setting.
Intubated Subjects Without the Biocontainment Device
Subjects undergoing scheduled airway procedures under general anesthesia with the Biocontainment Device by anesthesiologists trained in device use. Control for aerosol generating procedures: There is no control device for the aerosol containment device. As such, intubation without a device will serve as the control/placebo arm for this trial.
