This might help if we run out of respirators / FFP3 masks

This might help if we run short of ventilators

Not all particles in theatre are hazardous bioaerosols...#TheGreatAerosolDebate Tony Tim Cook

Percutaneous tracheostomy in a paralysed patient generated less aerosol than coughing. Perhaps it’s time for a rethink of which procedures do in fact generate aerosol: journals.sagepub.com/doi/full/10.11…

Upper GI endoscopy- is it or is it not an AGP? Great to see this study out Thread spoiler -not an AGP w/o coughing -significant aerosol generation if coughing (& burping) gut.bmj.com/content/early/… Flo Gregson Andy Shrimpton Tony Jules Brown Gus Hamilton 1/10

🔐The routine, uncomplicated use of SGAs does not appear to carry an increased risk of generating aerosol and, on this basis, does not meet the criterion to be classified as an AGP. Andy Shrimpton Jules Brown Tim Cook Gus Hamilton Tony 🔗…-publications.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/an…

Jules Brown @DrJonathanD 𝘈𝘯𝘢𝘦𝘴𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘴𝘪𝘢 Andy Shrimpton Gus Hamilton Tony But consider this Coughing on the ward: designated as no increased risk Until we have some scientific logic around the absolute extent of aerosol generation that is a risk we’re in a confused state & potentially applying maximum protection in areas of least risk (& vice versa)
