Effectiveness of Respiratory Protection During Simulated Resuscitation: a Prospective Cohort Study
Not Applicable
Completed
- Conditions
- Occupational Exposure
- Registration Number
- NCT04591756
- Lead Sponsor
- University of Virginia
- Brief Summary
The study hypothesizes that EHMRs with P100 filters will provide superior respiratory protection during simulated CPR compared to disposable N95 FFRs as measured by qualitative fit testing.
To this end, the study is a prospective observational cohort to evaluate the effectiveness of disposable FFRs and EHMR during simulated CPR. The primary endpoint will be subject report of detection of the testing agent during a 2 minute session of simulated chest compressions on a mannequin while wearing the respiratory protection that subjects routinely wear during the course of employment.
