Aerosol and droplet generation in upper and lower gastrointestinal endoscopy: whole procedure and event-based analysis

2021-04-20

Abstract excerpt

<h4>ABSTRACT</h4> <h4>Background and Aims</h4> Aerosol generating procedures have become an important healthcare issue due to the COVID-19 pandemic, as the SARS-CoV-2 virus can be transmitted via aerosols. We aimed to characterise aerosol and droplet generation in gastrointestinal endoscopy, where there is little evidence. <h4>Methods</h4> This prospective observational study included patients undergoing routine p...
