"Aerosol generating procedures could be anything like administering a nebulizer to a patient, to intubation, or placing a patient on a ventilator, suctioning secretions in or around their mouth, performing a bronchotomy or lung exam or biopsy. That would result in a provider being very close to...
and reduce hospital admissions due to elective surgical interventions in patients with stable foot conditions (Meloni et al, 2021). Reconsideration and adaption of aerosol-generating procedures were advised to reduce risk of transmission in surgery, while local an...
"N95s are respirators and are 'fit tested' for health care workers and are used in COVID-19 patients for aerosol-generating procedures. They can be uncomfortable if worn for long periods of time," said Dr. Rachel Lee, assistant professor of Infectious Diseases at the University of Alabama ...
There are differing government financial mitigations in place across dental practices for NHS and, to an extent private, activity, as well as for the dental industry. Dentistry is generally classified in the very high-risk category of aerosol production through many aerosol generating procedures (...
Minimize the number of staff present when aerosol-generating procedures are performed and ensure staff who are present are appropriately protected; Provide appropriate personal protective equipment, such as eye goggles, face shields and N95 respirators, as necessary to protect dental practitioners and sup...
High-risk aerosol-generating procedures usually take place in laparoscopic operations and in otolaryngological, maxillofacial and thoracic surgeries [20]. All suspected and confirmed cases should be operated in negative-pressure rooms, at least during the intubation and extubation procedures [1,8]. If...
Why dental practices are different There have been numerous changes introduced to dental practices re-opening following easing of the COVID-19 lockdown. This is due to a suggested potential risk of virus transmission from aerosol-generating procedures (AGPs) – common procedures you may have at th...
"we are relatively powerless in our attempts to individually opt out of something to which we are all collectively locked-in" (Stilgoe, 2020; p. 16) All this means that the procedures of testing being established by BRL researchers, as well as the end results of this testing are deeply ...

The assessment and control of microbial contamination in health care facilities is presently a mandatory and vital part of strategies to prevent and control hospital-acquired infections. This study aims to assess the bioburden with two passive sampling m
