Front line health-care workers (HCWs), particularly emergency physicians and acute care providers, are vulnerable to being exposed while treating their sick patients. Despite appropriate personal protective equipment use, HCW gets infected, suggesting the need for multiple layers of protection such as barrier devices.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Methods:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>We aimed to determine the effectiveness of our novel \u201cResuscitation Cover All\u201d(RCA) in reducing the exposure of HCW to simulated respiratory particles and its feasibility during cardio pulmonary resuscitation (CPR). This was a pilot simulation-based study. Five CPR simulation sessions were performed in Standard and RCA protocols, individually. Exposures through contact, droplets, and aerosols were simulated using a standardized volume of liquid detergent. Under Wood's lamp illumination, exposures of participants were compared between the protocols. Rate and depth of chest compressions, time taken to intubate, interruptions in CPR, and first-pass success were analyzed.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>\n                      Overall mean exposure in standard protocol was 4950.4 \u00b1 1461.6 (95%confidence interval [CI]:3135.7\u20136765.2) sq.pixels and RCA protocol was 2203.6 \u00b1 1499.0 (95%CI: 342.4\u20134064.9) sq.pixels (\n                      <jats:italic toggle=\"yes\">P<\/jats:italic>\n                      = 0.019). In standard, chest compressor had the highest exposure of 3066.6 \u00b1 1419.2 (95%CI: 2051.3\u20134081.9) sq.pixels followed by defibrillator assistant 1166.4 \u00b1 767.4 (95%CI: 617.4\u20131715.4) sq.pixels.
