Impact of Aerosol Box Use During Cardiopulmonary Arrest

This study is looking at how using an aerosol box affects the quality of CPR (cardiopulmonary resuscitation) during a cardiac arrest, especially in situations where COVID-19 might be a concern. An aerosol box is a clear plastic cover placed over a patient's head and shoulders, designed to protect healthcare workers from tiny airborne particles that can carry germs. Researchers want to see if using this box impacts how well CPR is performed. You may be able to join if you are between 18 and 60 years old and are a healthcare professional with specific certifications (like Advanced Life Support). The study is currently unclear on its recruitment status.
