Intravascular Access of COVID-19 Patient Under Personal Protective Equipment

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.

Treatment and study plan

Intravenous access

Device

obtaining intravascular access using a standard intravenous cannula

Other names: IV

Intraosseous access

Device

obtaining intravascular access using a ready intravenous NIO needle set

Other names: IO

Primary outcomes

  1. successful rate of first intravascular access attempt

    Time frame: 1 day

    successful placement of intravascular device

Secondary outcomes

  1. time to successful access

    Time frame: 1 day

  2. number of attempts to successful access

    Time frame: 1 day

    number of attempts to successful access

  3. time to infusion

    Time frame: 1 day

  6. Preferred intravascular access method

    Time frame: 1 day

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