Abstract
An intubation infection control tent system is described. In an example implementation, an infection control tent includes a cover that forms a space in which a patient can be positioned, the cover creating an infectious barrier between the patient and an external environment, one or more support channels integrated into the cover that provide a rigid structure to the cover, and a drape skirt that connects to an edge of the cover and drapes over a portion of the patient.

An infection control tent comprising:
- a cover that forms a space in which a patient can be positioned, the cover creating an infectious barrier between the patient and an external environment;
- one or more support channels integrated into the cover that provide a rigid structure to the cover;
- and
- a drape skirt that connects to an edge of the cover and drapes over a portion of the patient.
An infection control tent comprising:
- a cover formed out of a see-through plastic, the cover including a substantially flat bottom surface and a cylindrical side wall that connects to opposite sides of the bottom surface and forms a space in which a patient can be positioned;
- a supporting channel integrated into the cylindrical side wall that provides a rigid structure to preserve a cylindrical shape of the cylindrical sidewall;
- a top surface that connects along a top edge of the cylindrical side wall and along a top edge of the bottom surface;
- and
- a drape skirt that connects along a bottom edge of the cylindrical side wall and drapes down over the patient when the patient is positioned within the space.
A foldable infection control tent comprising:
- a cover including a cylindrical side-wall that connects to a bottom surface, the cover being foldable into a folded configuration and an unfolded configuration, the cover forming a space in which a patient can be positioned in the unfolded configuration;
- and
- a supporting channel, the supporting channel being configured to fold down in the folded configuration and provide a rigid structure to the cover in the unfolded configuration.
