The impact of respiratory protective equipment on difficult airway management: a randomised, crossover, simulation study	2020-05-28		.txt	text/plain	1386	89	39	title: The impact of respiratory protective equipment on difficult airway management: a randomised, crossover, simulation study Airway management in critically ill patients contaminated with chemical, biological radiological or nuclear substances requires personal protective equipment (PPE) [1, 2] . This is the first study comparing the impact of modern powered respirators and standard respirators on simulated difficult airway procedures. The primary outcome measure of this study was as the difference in intubation times for various airway management procedures, with wearer comfort a secondary outcome. Airway management times of the Airtraq group, the videolaryngoscopy and the fibreoptic intubation Anaesthetists rated their personal sensation of heat buildup and perceived vision significantly higher in the powered respirator group; however, noise levels scored significantly lower compared to the standard respirator group (Table 2 ). A randomised crossover simulation study comparing the impact of chemical, biological, radiological or nuclear substance personal protection equipment on the performance of advanced life support interventions	./cache/cord-269373-d5xam4kb.txt	./txt/cord-269373-d5xam4kb.txt
