Abstract

Peak flow testing is a common procedure performed in ambulatory care. There are currently no data regarding aerosol generation during this procedure. Given the ongoing debate regarding the potential for aerosol transmission of SARS-CoV-2, we aimed to quantify and characterize aerosol generation during peak flow testing.Five healthy volunteers performed peak flow maneuvers in a particle-free laboratory space. Two devices continuously sampled the...
