What you need to know In a healthcare setting, aerosol generating procedures (AGPs) include any medical practice or technique that enables aerosols to be transmitted from one person to another. AGPs have been described as increasing the risk of transmitting viruses that cause severe acute ...
The concept of aerosol-generating procedures (AGPs) or aerosol-generating medical procedures (AGMPs) was developed by the World Health Organization (WHO) and the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) in the wake of the outbreaks of Ebola (1). An AGP is defined as any medical...
1 Aerosol-generating medical procedures (AGMPs), such as bag-valve-mask (BVM) ventilation, laryngeal mask airway (LMA) insertion, and endotracheal intubation (ETI) are commonly required for patients with COVID-19 patients who are critically ill.2,3 AGMPs produce airborne particles, contributing ...
aerosol-generating medical procedures Raymond J. Roberge, MD, MPH Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania The concurrent use of N95 filtering facepiece respirators with powered air-purifying respirators during aerosol-generating medical procedures in patients with severe respiratory pathogens has been promoted as offerin...
Most orthopaedic procedures are high-risk aerosol generating procedures (AGPs). Conventional surgical masks do not offer protection against high-risk AGPs. In the current era of COVID-19 pandemic, there is a significant risk to the transmission of infection to the theatre staff. For protection aga...
