Time to airway device placement (A) using direct laryngoscopy (DL), Airtraq, C-MAC and I-Gel with (formula image) and without (■) protective box (n = 36). Values are median, inter-quartile-range and range. *p < 0.05 vs. airway device placement time without the protective box (Wilcoxon signed-rank test). Inside view (B) of the protective box. Lateral view (C) of the protective box. Simulation of droplet contamination of the gloves (D) with red colour. Access hole closure was contaminated (painted) only on the inner side (E), while it stayed uncontaminated (F) on the outer side when the contaminated hand was pulled out of the box. (For interpretation of the references to colour in this figure legend, the reader is referred to the web version of this article.)
