and a transparent angled member coupled to the vertical member and the enclosure member, said at least one arm port to allow access to intubate a patient. ## Claims ### Claim 1 An intubation chamber comprising: a vertical member comprising at least one arm port; an enclosure member comprising at least one access port; and a transparent angled member coupled to the vertical member and the enclosure member, said at least one arm port to allow access to intubate a patient. ### Claim 2 (depends on 1) The intubation chamber of claim 1 wherein the vertical member and the enclosure member are transparent. ### Claim 3 (depends on 1) The intubation chamber of claim 1 further comprising at least one of sealable arm ports, sealable access ports, and a sealable opening that includes a curtain. ### Claim 4 (depends on 1) The intubation chamber of claim 1 further comprising a nozzle to connect a suction pump to maintain a negative pressure within the intubation chamber. ### Claim 5 (depends on 4) The intubation chamber of claim 4 further comprising an alarm to sound in response to the negative pressure falling below a predetermined level. ### Claim 6 (depends on 1) The intubation chamber of claim 1 wherein the transparent angled member comprises at least one of a convex lens and a Fresnel lens. ### Claim 7 (depends on 1) The intubation chamber of claim 1 wherein the transparent angled member is coupled to at least one of of the vertical member or the enclosure member using a hinge or a snap on coupler, a hook slot coupler, and a press fit. ### Claim 8 (depends on 1) The intubation chamber of claim 1 wherein the enclosure member further comprises a back member, an upper member, a left side wall and a right side wall, wherein each of the side walls are at an angle that is less than 90 degrees to a base of the intubation chamber. ### Claim 9 (depends on 1) The intubation chamber of claim 1 wherein at least one of the at least one arm port and the at least one access port is an iris port. ### Claim 10 (depends on 1) The intubation chamber of claim 1 wherein at least one of the vertical member, the enclosure member and the transparent angled member are comprised of at least one of polymethyl methacrylate, plastic, and polycarbonate. ### Claim 11 (depends on 1) The intubation chamber of claim 1 wherein the transparent angled member forms an angle Theta with an upper member of the enclosure member, wherein said angle Theta has a range of between 5 degrees and 85 degrees. ### Claim 12 (depends on 1) The intubation chamber of claim 1 wherein the enclosure member further comprises an opening with a seal to seal the intubation chamber against the torso of a patient. ### Claim 13 (depends on 1) The intubation chamber of claim 1 further comprises at least one sensor. ### Claim 14 (depends on 13) The intubation chamber of claim 13 wherein the sensor comprises a pressure sensor. ### Claim 15 A method to intubate a patient comprising: placing an intubation chamber, having a transparent angled member coupled to a vertical member, and an enclosure member, over a patient; coupling a suction pump to a nozzle on the intubation chamber; maintaining a negative pressure within the intubation chamber; and reaching through the vertical member, via one or more arm ports, to intubate the patient. ### Claim 16 (depends on 15) The method of claim 15 wherein maintaining a negative pressure within the intubation chamber comprises removing air from the intubation chamber using the suction pump. ### Claim 17 (depends on 15) The method of claim 15 further comprising forming a vacuum seal between the intubation chamber, the patient and a surface on which the patient is laying. ### Claim 18 (depends on 17) The method of claim 17 wherein the vacuum seal is formed using elastomer seals. ### Claim 19 (depends on 15) The method of claim 15 wherein the intubation chamber is comprised of at least one of polymethyl methacrylate, polycarbonate, and plastic. ### Claim 20 (depends on 15) The method of claim 15 wherein reaching through the vertical member via one or more arm ports to intubate the patient comprises reaching through iris ports.
