Gastroenterology Procedures Generate Aerosols: an Air Quality Turnover Solution to Mitigate the Risk

2020-08-24

Abstract excerpt

The growing fear of virus transmission during the 2019 coronavirus disease (COVID-19) pandemic has called for many scientists to look into the various vehicle of infection, including the potential to travel through aerosols. Few have looked into the issue that gastrointestinal (GI) procedures may produce an abundance of aerosols. The current process of risk management for clinics is to follow a clinic-specific HVA...
