Simulation of aerosol and droplet spread during upper airway and gastrointestinal endoscopy

2021-04-20

Abstract excerpt

<h4>Objective</h4> Aerosols and droplets are the main vectors in transmission of highly contagious SARS-Cov-2. Invasive diagnostic procedures like upper airway and gastrointestinal endoscopy have been declared as aerosol generating procedures. Protection of health care workers is crucial in times of COVID-19 pandemic. <h4>Methods</h4> We simulated aerosol and droplet spread during upper airway and gastrointestinal...
