Summary

This study tests whether a clear plastic box placed over a patient's head during CPR can reduce the spread of viruses like COVID-19 to healthcare workers. Researchers will simulate cardiac arrest scenarios with 240 participants, measuring how well the box works during chest compressions and airway procedures. The goal is to improve safety for medical staff during outbreaks.
