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 ...
As the major mode of transmission of SARS-CoV-2 appears to be airborne aerosols and droplets, there has been an intense focus on such aerosol generating procedures (AGP). As there has been no systematic reviews on the efficacy of bio-aerosol reducing measure in dentistry, the objective of ...
In August 2020, theAERATORgroup was awarded an NIHR-UKRI grant to study a range of potentialaerosolgenerating procedures (AGP's) commonly performed across the NHS. Currently policies around these procedures mean the use of full (FFP3) PPE and often lengthy waits between procedures to allow for ...
Aerosol generating procedures (AGPs) in dentistry have been defined as: “dental procedures using high speed devices such as ultrasonic scalers and drills”, which provides limited information about droplet and aerosols associated with specific periodontal procedures. Ultrasonic and sonic scaling refers to...

patient groups (children, adults, pregnant women, the immunocompromised), as well as its behaviour during various so-called ‘aerosol generating procedures’ (AGP) [171,172]. Multiple studies have been performed to attempt to define the potential risk of aerosol transmission from infected patients ...

There are situations however that still require the undertaking of aerosol generating procedures (AGP) with potentially high exposure of healthcare workers to SARS-CoV-2 transmission through droplet, contact and possibly airborne routes. The objective of this paper is to explore a structured way for...
Background: Hazardous pathogens are spread in either droplets or aerosols produced during aerosol-generating procedures (AGP). Adjuncts minimising exposure of healthcare workers to hazardous pathogens released during AGP may be beneficial. We used state-of-the-art computational fluid dynamics (CFD) ...
