Popis: Healthcare workers performing bronchoscopy, especially in urgent cases, may be at risk of aerosol-transmitted infection with severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2. Therefore, such healthcare workers require thorough protection from aerosol droplets. To this end, we developed a novel handmade protective barrier enclosure for performing flexible bronchoscopy. The use of this enclosure did not entail any special technique for handling the bronchoscope during bronchoscopy. The enclosure may be helpful in protecting bronchoscopists from the risk of aerosol-transmitted infections, including coronavirus disease 2019.
