Intravascular Access of COVID-19 Patient Under Personal Protective Equipment
Study Details
Study Description
Brief 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. 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.

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcome Measures
- successful rate of first intravascular access attempt [1 day]
successful placement of intravascular device
Secondary Outcome Measures
- time to successful access [1 day]
- number of attempts to successful access [1 day]
number of attempts to successful access
- time to infusion [1 day]
time to therapy including but not limited to time to fluids, antibiotics, and antiarrythmics
- complication rates [1 day]
complication rates
- ease of use [1 day]
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
- Preferred intravascular access method [1 day]
participants were asked which method of intravascular access they would prefer in a real-life resuscitation.
