Abstract Background In the context of the COVID-19 emergency, the concern has been raised that people may compensate the reduction in risk ensured by mask use with an increase in risk induced by lower adherence to physical distancing rules. Purpose The paper investigates if people compensate risk in this manner when their interaction partner wears a face mask, examining if risk compensation further depends on gender, signaled social status and perceived race. Methods An experiment was conducted in two waves (June, n = 1396 and September 2020, n = 1326) in front of the traffic lights of four busy roads in Paris. A confederate asked a randomly selected pedestrian for directions following a script and keeping the recommended distance. Confederates were locally recognizable as Blacks or Whites and alternatively presented themselves with a costume indicative of high or low social status. An observer recorded whether the pedestrian kept the recommended distance. Results Both in June and September, men are less likely to comply with the distancing rule when the confederate wears the face mask, and particularly so when the confederate signals high status. When the confederate wears the mask, female pedestrians observe less the one-meter rule in September than in June. Conclusions Men’s risk compensatory behavior is constant over time. In contrast, women’s depends on the time period.

IntroductionAlthough preoxygenation and airway management respond to precise algorithms, difficult intubation (DI) remains a daily challenge in intensive care units and in the operating rooms because of its frequent complications, including hypoxaemia. To prevent desaturation during DI, high-flow oxygenation by nasal cannula (HFNC) could prove beneficial. Indeed, contrary to standard preoxygenation device, it can be held in place throughout the intubation trying to perform apnoeic oxygenation during DI. Hence, recent guidelines recommend HFNC during DI, but its relevance has never been evaluated in this setting in a large randomised study until now.Methods and analysisThe PREOPTIDAM trial is a prospective, single-centre, randomised, controlled study in Nantes University Hospital. In anticipated DI, we hypothesised that HFNC can decrease the incidence of desaturation ≤94% or face mask ventilation from 16% to 4% compared with standard device. Using a two-sided t-test with a first species risk of 5% and 80% power, a total of 186 patients will be included. Using a computer-generated randomisation, with a 1:1 allocation ratio, patients will be randomised to HFNC or face mask preoxygenation. Randomisation will be stratified on intubation sequence: Rapid sequence intubation or awake fibreoptic intubation. The primary objective is to determine whether HFNC is more efficient than standard oxygenation techniques to prevent desaturation ≤94% or face mask ventilation during DI. Intent-to-treat and per-protocol analysis are planned for the primary outcome.Ethics and disseminationThe study project has been approved by an independent ethics committee. Written informed consent will be obtained before study inclusion. Participant recruitment begins in September 2018. Results will be submitted to international peer-reviewed medical journals.Trial registration numberNCT03604120.
