The Impact of a Barrier Enclosure on Endotracheal Intubation Duration and First Pass Attempt - A Randomized Controlled Trial
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating COVID-19 barrier box for COVID-19. Completed, enrolled 100 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
The trial will be done to determine the impact of a barrier enclosure, COVID (coronavirus disease -19) barrier box on endotracheal intubation attempts, and duration. This study will be a prospective, open-label, randomized controlled trial. A total of 100 patients scheduled for elective surgery will be randomly assigned in two groups (intervention group and control group). Participating attending anesthesiologists will intubate the intervention group patients with COVID barrier box and the control group patients without the box. The anesthesiologists and the intervention group patients will be surveyed about their perception after the surgery. The result of this study will help in decision making about using COVID barrier box to minimize the viral transmission from patients to healthcare workers during the pandemic.

Interventions
Attending anesthesiologists will use a plastic proprietary barrier enclosure for intubating patients in the intervention group to protect spreading aerosolized droplets from patient to health care provider.
