We propose a novel technique for rapid outdoor non-compression intubation (RONCI) of cardiac arrest patients while en route from the ambulance bay to the resuscitation bay to further decrease the risk of viral aerosolization. 5 We present a case of an outdoor non-compression intubation of a patient in cardiac arrest to minimize COVID-19 exposure to staff while still providing standard Advanced Cardiac Life Support (ACLS). Non-compression intubation is suggested by ED resuscitation experts and the American Heart Association (AHA) to minimize COVID-19 exposure to staff. 5 The AHA recommends that the "provider…with the best chance of first-pass success" should perform the intubations in suspected COVID-19 infected patients in cardiac arrest. ./cache/cord-345510-togrmvlk.txt ./txt/cord-345510-togrmvlk.txt
