Type 1 retinopathy of prematurity (ROP) requires emergency intervention and laser is an established modality of treatment. Laser treatment for ROP under topical anesthesia can be considered as an aerosol-generating procedure due to crying that puts health care workers at high risk of COVID-19 transmission. Aerosol containment box (ACB) is known to minimize aerosol transmission and there are reports of ROP laser done through incubator. Combining these two ideas, we describe a new application of ACB with suction for laser treatment of ROP thereby, reducing risk to health care team without compromising timely effective, and safe treatment for ROP.
1 型早产儿视网膜病变（ROP）需要紧急干预，激光是一种成熟的治疗方式。由于患儿哭泣，ROP 在表面麻醉下进行激光治疗可被视为产生气溶胶的操作，这使医护人员面临 COVID-19 传播的高风险。气溶胶容器（ACB）可最大程度地减少气溶胶传播，并且有报告称通过保温箱进行 ROP 激光治疗。结合这两个想法，我们描述了一种 ACB 与吸引联合应用于 ROP 激光治疗的新方法，从而降低了医护团队的风险，同时又不影响对 ROP 的及时、有效和安全治疗。
