Table 3. Unadjusted analysis of contamination rates by protective methods†.
| Contamination sites and protective methods | Odds ratio (95% confidence interval) | P value |
|---|---|---|
| Glove contamination | ||
| BladePouch vs. single gloves | 0.727 (0.235–2.246) | 0.575 |
| BladePouch vs. double gloves | 0.496 (0.150–1.646) | 0.248 |
| Gown contamination | ||
| BladePouch vs. single gloves | 0.436 (0.067–2.853) | 0.382 |
| BladePouch vs. double gloves | 0.622 (0.872–4.435) | 0.631 |
| Work surface contamination | ||
| BladePouch vs. single or double gloves‡ | 0.015 (0.004–0.052) | <0.001 |
†, All models adjusted for intubation instrument; however, effects from intubation instrument were not statistically significant in any of the models. ‡, since all (40/40) single gloves protective method trials resulted in work surface contamination, the single and double gloves protective methods were combined in the modeling of the work surface contamination outcome.
