Intravascular Access of COVID-19 Patient Under Personal Protective Equipment

Not Applicable

Completed

• Conditions: Cardiac Arrest; Emergencies
• Interventions: Device: Intravenous access; Device: Intraosseous access

• Registration Number: NCT04366297
• Lead Sponsor: Lazarski University

Brief Summary

The current COVID-19 pandemic, this is especially since the transmission of SARS-CoV-2 is thought to occur mainly through respiratory droplets generated by coughing and sneezing, by direct contact with contaminated surfaces and because in a large number of patients COVID-19 disease may be asymptomatic. As recommended by the CDC medical personnel should be equipped with full personal protective equipment (PPE) for AGP in contact with suspected/confirmed COVID-19 patient. Therefore, it is reasonable to search for the most effective methods of intravascular access in those conditions.

Primary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
successful rate of first intravascular access attempt	1 day	successful placement of intravascular device

Secondary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Preferred intravascular access method	1 day	participants were asked which method of intravascular access they would prefer in a real-life resuscitation.
time to successful access	1 day
time to infusion	1 day	time to therapy including but not limited to time to fluids, antibiotics, and antiarrythmics
complication rates	1 day	complication rates
number of attempts to successful access	1 day	number of attempts to successful access
ease of use	1 day	self-reported percentage the vocal cord visualization. A 100% score is a extremely difficult procedure. A Ease of use score of 1% means that procedure is extremely easy
