Use checklist if available (see example: File:Harbor COVID Airway Management v3-16-20.pdf)
Use BVM with viral filter or avoid BVM altogether, if possible
Use RSI to prevent coughing gagging; consider higher dosing of paralytics.
Use video laryngoscopy to keep provider face further away from patient (afterwards, clean with grey wipes, observe 3 min wet time)
