Study Summary
Massive number of clinicians were infected during the outbreak of COVID-19, which raised the concerns of utilizing "aerosol generating procedures", particularly the use of high-flow nasal cannula, noninvasive ventilation, intubation, bronchoscopy examination and pulmonary function test. There appears to be a trend to avoid those treatments. Instead, aggressive intubation might cause shortage of medical devices and add extra workload. Therefore, we aimed to do a clinical observational study to evaluate the aerosol generation in these procedures and explore the potential measures to reduce the aerosol generation or dispersion.
Primary Outcome
The aerosol mass/count concentration pre procedure/treatment at 1 foot away from patient's airway in the patient's room
Interventions
- DEVICE High-flow nasal cannula
- DEVICE Surgical mask
- PROCEDURE bronchoscopy examination
- PROCEDURE intubation
- PROCEDURE tracheostomy
