Viable virus aerosol propagation by PAP circuit leak and mitigation with a ventilated patient hood – a model for improving health care worker safety in the COVID-19 pandemic

2020-09-05

Abstract excerpt

<h4>ABSTRACT</h4> <h4>Background</h4> Nosocomial transmission of SARS-CoV-2 has been a major cause of morbidity and mortality in the COVID-19 pandemic. Emerging evidence suggests patients auto-emit aerosols containing viable respiratory viruses. These aerosols could be further propagated when patients undergo certain treatments including continuous positive airway pressure (PAP) therapy. This study aimed to assess...
