Aerosol generating procedures (AGPs) may expose health care workers (HCWs) to pathogens causing acute respiratory infections (ARIs), but the risk of transmission of ARIs from AGPs is not fully known. We sought to determine the clinical evidence for the risk of transmission of ARIs to HCWs carin...
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 such, orthodontic practices fall within the range of these procedures, seemingly within a more limited extent, but it is important that they are not neglected. The presence of dental unit waterlines (DUWLs) microbiota has also been considered an additional intriguing factor, especially because ...
The service disruption, ongoing reduction in service capacity associated with social distancing, and enhanced personal protective equipment (PPE) [3] together with requiring a “fallow time” post-procedure (a clearing period after any “aerosol-generating procedures” where the dental clinic is kept ...
Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19): challenges and management of aerosol-generating procedures in dentistryExperimental investigation.A retrospective review to evaluate the use of a negative-pressure otolaryngology viral isolation drape (NOVID) system to reduce cross-infection through aerosol. The ...
We did not detect differences in mycobacterial load nor PCR inhibition when comparing bags and filters, suggesting both PMC components may be useful, however, further optimization of aerosol collection procedures (e.g., number of coughs sufficient) and processing (to optimise release of captured ...
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...
“For healthcare providers, the single-use COVAIRE is the only PPE that is specifically designed to be the most simple and effective additional barrier to further protect providers from pathogen exposure – including COVID-19 – during and after...
