Study Summary
Methods 123 patients were enrolled in a randomized controlled trial at Eskenazi Hospital from April 2020 until October 2020. We permitted patients to either use their own mask (due to low resources institutionally) or we provided a surgical/cloth mask (early on relied on donated cloth masks for patients). Patients were randomized to a control (no tape over the mask/nose) or to the intervention (placing tape over the bridge of the nose of the face mask). Patients were evaluated at 30- and 60- minute intervals to assess for proper mask usage.
Primary Outcome
The primary outcome of this trial is proper mask utilization upon reevaluation up to 60 minutes (with the mask at/under the chin, meanwhile completely covering the mouth and nose). At these time point a trained observer enters the room and observes the patient's face covering and its location on the face (correct, chin exposed, nose exposed, not on at all).
