ClinConnect Summary
The COVID Dome Trial is studying a new device that looks like a bubble and is placed over a patient’s head during surgery. The goal is to see if this dome can help prevent the spread of germs in hospitals. Researchers want to understand how using this device affects patients’ experiences during surgery, including how quickly a breathing tube can be placed and how it impacts heart rate, blood pressure, and oxygen levels.
To participate in this trial, you need to be an adult over 18 years old, scheduled for certain types of surgery, and in good health based on specific criteria. While in the study, you’ll need to share any issues you experience related to the dome and fill out a short survey about your experience afterward. If you don’t use the dome during your surgery, you’ll be shown a video of it and asked questions based on that. This trial is not yet recruiting, but it aims to ensure a safer surgical environment for everyone.
