About

The aim of this study is to compare the impact of using the aerosol box and transparent sheet as an adjunct to conventional personal protective equipment on endotracheal intubation of COVID-19 patients. The effect of the head of the bed elevation will also be evaluated during the mentioned simulated scenarios.

Full description

This is a randomized, prospective, manikin simulation study. Emergency medicine specialists will be participated in the study. Participants will be randomly assigned into 6 groups with a 1:1:1:1:1:1 allocation following simple randomization procedures by a program generating online random numbers. 13 participants will be recruited to the study.

Operators who will intubate the manikin will use following methods: (1) conventional personal protective equipment (PPE) with placing the manikin in the supine position. (2) aerosol box as an adjunct to PPE with placing the manikin in the supine position. (3) transparent sheet as an adjunct to PPE with placing the manikin in the supine position. (4) conventional personal protective equipment (PPE) with placing the manikin in the 30 degree the head of the bed elevated position. (5) aerosol box as an adjunct to PPE with placing the manikin in the 30 degree the head of the bed elevated position. (6) transparent sheet as an adjunct to PPE with placing the manikin in the 30 degree the head of the bed elevated position.
