Simulation Based Ambulance and Crew Decontamination Advise During COVID-19 Pandemic.

This study involved a simulation of transportation and basic life support on ambulances carrying coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) patients, using a specially modified mannequin. The mannequin used can spew a fluorescent solution from its mouth to simulate the droplets or vomitus made by the patient and can be detected using ultraviolet light illumination. We determined that the most frequently contaminated areas of an ambulance in the driver's cabin are the left front door's outer handle, driver's handler, gear lever, and mat.
