Abstract
A system configured to create a self-contained negative pressure environment (SCONE) to remove airborne particulates emitted from a patient. The system prevents exposure to pathogenic biological airborne particulates during triage, transportation, and treatment, including aerosol generating procedures (AGPs) and end of life care. This system is directed to a collapsible device having a flexible cover covering two support members, with openings in the flexible cover such that medical professionals can reach in and operate within. The present invention is further adaptable to patients and operating environments of various sizes.
