简要总结
Pilot study to provide a descriptive analysis of the real-world feasibility of using a CareCube for COVID-19 patients in a high-volume tertiary care hospital.
详细描述
The CareCube is a modular, disposable, negative pressure, isolation patient care system that can rapidly augment hospital's capacity to care for patients with contagious droplets or airborne pathogens. It is designed as a temporary single-use negative pressure isolation care unit with PPE for common patient care protocols built into the unit. The device is intended to be used in a healthcare setting as a temporary isolation of patients with suspected or confirmed diagnosis of COVID-19 to prevent Healthcare Practitioners (HCP) and patients' visitors from being exposed to pathogenic biological airborne particulates. The system includes three components: an isolation chamber, functional gown, and gloves. The isolation chamber functions in a similar manner to a hospital negative pressure, Airborne Infection Isolation Room. The gown and gloves provide an extra layer of barrier protection beyond PPE. The CareCube is designed to provide improved protection for front-line healthcare workers, while also conserving the vital supplies of N95 masks, face shields, and gowns, which are not required since there is no direct contact with the patient.
The goal of this project is to provide preliminary data to describe the experiences of 'patients', their caregivers, and providers with the CareCube.
