Aerosol-Generating Procedures and Risk of Transmission of Acute Respiratory Infections: A Systematic Review [Internet]
Excerpt
It has been hypothesized that aerosol-generating procedures expose health care workers (HCWs) to respiratory pathogens, thereby increasing the risk of contracting the associated infectious diseases. However, the risk of transmission of acute respiratory infections from each aerosol-generating procedure has not been fully determined. WHO guidelines have listed procedures that may be associated with increased risk of respiratory pathogen transmission.
