Trial 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.

About this study

Official title: Intraosseous Versus Intravenous Access During COVID-19 Patients Performed by Paramedics Wearing Level C Personal Protective Equipment. A Multi-center Prospective Randomized Crossover Single-blinded Simulation Trial

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.

Being tested

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • Intravenous accessDevice

    Also called IV

    obtaining intravascular access using a standard intravenous cannula

  • Intraosseous accessDevice

    Also called IO

    obtaining intravascular access using a ready intravenous NIO needle set

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. successful rate of first intravascular access attempt

    successful placement of intravascular device

    Measured: 1 day

Secondary outcomes (6)
  1. time to successful access

    Measured: 1 day

  2. number of attempts to successful access

    number of attempts to successful access

    Measured: 1 day

  3. time to infusion

    time to therapy including but not limited to time to fluids, antibiotics, and antiarrythmics

    Measured: 1 day

  4. complication rates

    complication rates

    Measured: 1 day

  5. ease of use

    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

    Measured: 1 day

  6. Preferred intravascular access method

    participants were asked which method of intravascular access they would prefer in a real-life resuscitation.

    Measured: 1 day

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Intravenous access and Intraosseous access in people with Cardiac Arrest and Emergencies, run by Lazarski University at 1 site in Poland.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 3 inclusion and 1 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 28 Apr 2020. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in Poland. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

successful rate of first intravascular access attempt (time frame: 1 day). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT04366297, which also lists 1 linked publication.

Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 28 Apr 2020.
