About this study

Official title: Use of Aerosol Box for Ultrasound-guided Internal Jugular Vein Cannulation in COVID-19 Patients; Single Center Experience

During the COVID-19 pandemic, health employees are at high risk of infection. This study aimed to determine experiences with an aerosol box (AB), used with the aim of preventing contamination by droplets during internal jugular vein cannulation which requires close contact with COVID-19 patients, and the necessity to use this device.

Read the detailed description

The study included 40 patients with diagnosis of COVID-19 requiring central venous catheter during treatment in the ward. The patients were randomly allocated to one of the two protective equipment groups and, then, randomly assigned to one of the five clinicians. Group P\&A had both personal protective equipment (PPE) and AB used, while Group P included patients where PPE was used alone. Clinicians completed a survey after performing the procedure to evaluate the use of the aerosol box. Collected data of the procedures and patients, were analyzed. In addition, survey data were evaluated.

What participants receive

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

  • Internal jugular vein cannulationProcedure or surgery

    The clinicians performed an internal jugular vein cannulation using personal protective equipment (PPE) or both of the aerosol box and PPE provide insertion of a central venous catheter in COVID-19 patients.

What is being measured

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

  1. Questionnaire on the Use of Aerosol Boxes

    There is no valid and reliable questionnaire in the literature that evaluates behaviors and attitudes towards aerosol box use. Therefore, in our study, a questionnaire was conducted about the attitudes and behaviors of the participants towards aerosol box preservatives.There are 6 statements in the content of the questionnaire on aerosol box use. The questionnaire consists of expressions such as "1-Discomfort using box, 2-Difficulty in manipulation during the performance, 3-Difficulty in use of US device restricted by box, 4-Increased cognitive load from use of box, 5-Increased physical load from use of box, 6-User satisfaction respectively. Participants were asked to answer these statements as ''yes or no''. According to the response received, positive or negative attitudes towards the use of aerosol boxes were evaluated.

    Measured: 7 months from the index case of the pandemic in Turkey

  2. Catheter-related infection after central venouse catheterization in COVID-19

    When the body temperature of the patients is above 38, blood, urine and if the patient is intubated, a tracheal aspirate culture will be taken.

    If the blood culture test is a positive, a diagnosis of catheter-related infection will be made and central venouse catheter will be removed.

    Measured: 7 months from the index case of the pandemic in Turkey

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Number of arterial punctures

    The difference in the number of arterial punctures developed during central venous catheterization in patients with or without aerosol box.

    Measured: 7 months from the index case of the pandemic in Turkey

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?

Questionnaire on the Use of Aerosol Boxes (time frame: 7 months from the index case of the pandemic in Turkey). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
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 8 Jul 2021.
