Air filtration mitigates aerosol levels both during and after OGD procedures

2022-08-24

Abstract excerpt

<h4>Objectives</h4> Upper GI endoscopies are aerosol generating procedures (AGPs), increasing risk of spreading airborne pathogens. We aim to quantify mitigation of airborne particles via improved ventilation, specifically laminar flow theatres and portable HEPA filters, during and after upper GI endoscopies. <h4>Methods</h4> This observational study included patients undergoing routine oral gastroscopy in a stand...
