The COVID Dome Trial

The aim of this study is to test a bubble-like dome (made of clear plastic) being placed over patients' heads during surgery as a tool to prevent the spread of germs through the air in hospitals. The researchers are interested in the following outcomes: * How the device affects the patients' experience of surgery. * The impact of the device on how long it takes to place a breathing tube, blood pressure, heart rate and oxygen levels of the patient. Researchers will compare the outcomes across patients using the device and patients not using the device. This will be done by randomly (by chance) assigning participants undergoing surgery to group 1 (using the bubble-like dome device) or group 2 (not using the device). Participants will: * Tell the researchers or your anesthesia doctor about any problems that you experience that you think might be related to participating in the study. * Fill out a 10-minute survey regarding your experience with the dome after surgery. * If you did not try the dome before going to sleep, you will be able to watch a video of the dome in use and answer questions based on the video * Be video recorded with your time with the dome.

Assessment of Emergency Spacers Versus Traditional Spacers for Delivery of Aerosolized Drugs

* The goal of this clinical trial is to evaluate the performance, feasibility, and safety of emergency spacers compared to traditional spacers for the delivery of aerosolized drugs using pMDI. in young children and adult asthmatic patients The main questions it aims to answer are: 1. Measuring total emitted dose emitted from pMDI alone and attached to spacers. 2. Determining the pharmacokinetic parameter of aerosol delivered by different spacers. 3. Determining the lung bioavailability of aerosol delivered by different spacers. 4. Determining the systemic bioavailability of aerosol delivered by different spacers. 5. Determining the lung function after aerosol delivered by different spacers. 6. Determining the safety Researchers will compare salbutamol amount delivered using pMDI alone and pMDI connected to differents spacers to evaluate the performance, feasibility, and safety of emergency spacers compared to traditional spacers for the delivery of aerosolized drugs. Participants will asked to * inhale salbutamol through pMDI alone and pMDI connected to different spacers * perform lung function test using spirometer * urine samples will be taken from patients 30 minutes and 24 hours after dose inhalation. * use pulse oximeter to measure heart rate
