“…Public health expertise is the mainstay to tackle these emerging and reemerging infections. 11 Public health measures focus on eliminating the factors responsible for the emergence and transmission of these diseases and implementing control measures to curtail the spread of these infections. Advocacy, awareness, research studies, vaccinations are the most critical public health measures to restrict the spread of these infections.…”

Emerging and reemerging infections are a huge threat to the human race which can destabilize humans from the roots. It is a global problem and not a problem for any single country. 15 million deaths occur annually across the globe due to infections, and 12% of them are due to emerging pathogens. These infections are returning every year with an increased incidence rate and higher virulence. In the present era of globalization and living conditions, such as living in crowded areas increases the potential for the spread of these emerging and reemerging infections, eventually affecting public health. The most prominent challenge that poses in the face of public health officials is the achievement of global preparedness to combat these infections. Aggressive research is needed in this field to help being prepared for an attack by these infections. Global organizational cooperation, international research funding, and poverty reduction are very much necessary for taking measures against these infections.

“…With the current and future pandemics caused by emerging respiratory pathogens, it would be wise to evaluate interventions with possible consequences. 5 Attempting to modify hypothetical risks can lead to further risks, which may lead to collateral toxicity that was originally unforeseen at the initial intervention. Evidencebased medicine (whenever possible) with an appreciation of medical history should guide our risk-benefit decisional evaluations in the near future.…”

“…The film is disposable, and the frame is reusable after being sanitized with 70% ethyl alcohol or 0.5% sodium hypochlorite. 5 Second, compared with rigid hoods or chambers, the tent provides a more flexible and expansible space and thus allows clinicians to operate various types of intubation equipment, such as video laryngoscopes (Figure , B). Third, the tent is stable, lightweight, and easy to assemble, which makes it applicable in out-of-hospital settings.…”

both sides of the patient's head and upper chest. The frames were covered with a transparent, plastic film, which was made of polyvinyl chloride, as a tent. Scissors were used to cut the film to create holes as necessary, allowing physicians and nurses to put their hands through the holes and perform procedures.The tent has several advantages. First, it is inexpensive and easy to make, with a cost of only $20. The materials for the frames and film are easily accessible in most areas. The film is disposable, and the frame is reusable after being sanitized with 70% ethyl alcohol or 0.5% sodium hypochlorite. 5 Second, compared with rigid hoods or chambers, the tent provides a more flexible and expansible space and thus allows clinicians to operate various types of intubation equipment, such as video laryngoscopes (Figure , B).Third, the tent is stable, lightweight, and easy to assemble, which makes it applicable in out-of-hospital settings. It can also be an accessory for mechanical resuscitation devices, even on stretchers (Figure , C).In the fight against emerging infectious diseases, this newly designed tent can give physicians and nurses a much safer environment during airway management.
