About this study

Official title: Effect of Using Barrier Devices for Intubation in COVID-19 Patients: Randomized, Prospective, Manikin Study

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.

Read the detailed 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.

What participants receive

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

  • aerosol boxDevice

    The aerosol box is a barrier that protects the staff against the aerosols during the aerosol generating procedures like endotracheal intubation. It is a transparent cube that covers the patient's head during the endotracheal intubation. Operator can intubate the patient through the two holes for arms.

  • transparent sheetDevice

    The transparent sheet is a barrier that protects the staff against the aerosols during the aerosol generating procedures like endotracheal intubation. It is a transparent cover that covers the patient's head and body during the endotracheal intubation. Operator can intubate the patient through the space under the cover

What is being measured

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

  1. First pass success

    Comparison of the first pass success rates for each method that were mentioned in the 'Detailed Description' of the study.

    Measured: 2 minutes

Secondary outcomes (4)
  1. Time to endotracheal intubation

    The mean time to successful endotracheal intubation for each method that were mentioned in the 'Detailed Description' of the study.

    Measured: 2 minutes

  2. Difficulty level of accessing the equipment

    Grading the difficulty of accessing the equipment on a 5-point Likert scale for each method that were mentioned in the 'Detailed Description' of the study.

    Measured: 2 minutes

  3. Difficulty level of inserting the endotracheal tube into the glottis

    Grading the difficulty of inserting the endotracheal tube into the glottis on a 5-point Likert scale for each method that were mentioned in the 'Detailed Description' of the study.

    Measured: 2 minutes

  4. Clarity of the view of the patient's face

    Grading the clarity of the view of the patient's face on a 5-point Likert scale for each method that were mentioned in the 'Detailed Description' of the study.

    Measured: 2 minutes
