No Placebo-Only Group

Summary

This trial is researching how well an aerosol box protects HCWs from germs like the coronavirus when performing high-risk medical procedures.

Who is the study for?

This trial is for healthcare workers who perform CPR and other airway management procedures, such as doctors, nurses, respiratory therapists, and physician assistants. They must be certified in Advanced Life Support or Basic Life Support. Those unable to consent or with physical limitations that prevent task performance are excluded.

What is being tested?

The study tests the effectiveness of an aerosol box designed to protect healthcare workers from airborne particles during CPR on patients with COVID-19. It aims to understand particle dispersion during these procedures and improve infection control measures.

What are the potential side effects?

Since this trial involves a protective device rather than a medication, there are no direct side effects like those associated with drugs. However, potential indirect issues may include reduced accessibility or visibility while performing medical procedures.
