Coronavirus disease (COVID-19) has posed immense challenges for healthcare workers, among them are procedures related to suctioning of bodily fluids during surgery or intensive care. These procedures are potentially aerosol-generating and can lead to disease transmission. We have modified the usual suction apparatus in a simple and easy to do manner so that all suctioned material first passes through the 0.1% sodium hypochlorite solution, which is virucidal and decontaminates the suctioned material. This innovation may help in addressing the safety concerns of all healthcare providers working in operation rooms and intensive care units.
冠状病毒病（COVID-19）给医护人员带来了巨大的挑战，其中包括手术或重症监护期间与抽吸体液有关的程序。这些程序可能会产生气溶胶，并导致疾病传播。我们以简单且易于操作的方式对常规的抽吸设备进行了改装，使所有抽吸的物质首先通过 0.1%次氯酸钠溶液，该溶液具有杀病毒作用，并对抽吸的物质进行消毒。这项创新可能有助于解决在手术室和重症监护病房工作的所有医护人员的安全问题。
