Evaluation of aerosol box use for ultrasound-guided internal jugular vein cannulation in patients with COVID-19: A short-term randomised study.

Background And Aims: During the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic, health care workers are at a high risk of infection from aerosols. In this study, we compared the ease of using the aerosol box (AB) with the traditional method during internal jugular vein cannulation attempts (IJVCA).

Methods: The study included 40 patients with COVID-19 who required central venous catheterisation during treatment in the ward.
