There is one clinical trial.
Healthcare workers in Wisconsin caring for critically ill COVID-19 patients will be most impacted by the proposed project. Evidence has shown that the SARS-CoV-2 novel coronavirus is easily transmissable through close contact between individuals, especially during aerosol-generating procedures such as intubation of patients. The intervention proposed in this study (nasal and oral decontamination with povidone-iodine and chlorhexidine, respectively) presents an opportunity for a safe, effective, and feasible treatment to decontaminate the primary entry points for SARS-CoV-2. As such, the intervention to be studied in this project may protect healthcare workers by preventing transmission of SARS-CoV-2 from patients to healthcare workers, and thus reducing the incidence of COVID-19 in these healthcare workers.
Description: Participants will be monitored for positive COVID-19 test results during this trial
Measure: Number of Participants with COVID-19 diagnosis Time: 8 weeksDescription: Viral load will be measured as a continuous outcome for each participant (three times per week) throughout this trial.
Measure: SARS-Cov-2 Viral Load Time: 8 weeksDescription: Assessment of fidelity (as measured by percentage of compliance) to the treatment regimen will be measured by participants' reporting of intervention doses take through a daily treatment diary.
Measure: Fidelity of the treatment regimen Time: 8 weeksDescription: A survey asking subjects to rank several factors that contribute to overall feasibility of use will be given pre- and post-intervention treatment.
Measure: Feasibility of the treatment regimen Time: 2 weeks total: 1 week (pre-intervention) and 1 week after completion of intervention (post-intervention)
