1. An aerosolization mitigation device, comprising: an inflatable strut system comprising: a front left strut and a front right strut; a rear left strut and a rear right strut; and a rear middle strut disposed between the rear left strut and the rear right strut; a transparent barrier configured to enclose a portion of a patient in a contained environment, the transparent barrier comprising a floor panel, wherein the transparent barrier is configured to form a volume around the patient when the inflatable strut system is in an inflated state, and wherein the front left strut, front right strut, rear left strut, right rear strut, and rear middle strut extend upward from the floor panel when the inflatable strut system is in the inflated state; a first top strut connected to upper ends of the front left strut and the front right strut; a window strut is connected from an upper end of the rear left strut, to the first top strut between the front left strut and front right strut, then to an upper end of the rear right strut, and then to an upper end of the rear middle strut; an opening between the front left strut and the right front strut configured to be sealed around the patient; a negative pressure channel configured to be coupled to a source of negative pressure, wherein the negative pressure channel is configured to generate a negative pressure in the volume around the patient in response to an application of the source of negative pressure; and an access port configured to provide a flow limited passageway through the transparent barrier into the volume around the patient when the inflatable strut system is in the inflated state.
