The study included 40 patients with diagnosis of COVID-19 requiring central venous catheter during treatment in the ward. The patients were randomly allocated to one of the two protective equipment groups and, then, randomly assigned to one of the five clinicians. Group P\&A had both personal protective equipment (PPE) and AB used, while Group P included patients where PPE was used alone. Clinicians completed a survey after performing the procedure to evaluate the use of the aerosol box. Collected data of the procedures and patients, were analyzed. In addition, survey data were evaluated.
