Risk and mitigation of aerosolisation from lung function testing: results from the AERATOR study

2021-03-08

Abstract excerpt

<h4>Introduction</h4> Lung function tests are fundamental diagnostic and monitoring tools for patients with respiratory symptoms. There is significant uncertainty around whether potentially infectious aerosol is produced during different lung function testing modalities; and limited data on possible mitigation strategies to reduce risk to staff and limit fallow time. <h4>Methods</h4> Healthy volunteers were recrui...
