SARS-CoV-2 environmental contamination from hospitalised patients with COVID-19 receiving aerosol-generating procedures
Abstract
Background Continuous positive airways pressure (CPAP) and high-flow nasal oxygen (HFNO) are considered ‘aerosol-generating procedures’ in the treatment of COVID-19. Objective To measure air and surface environmental contamination with SARS-CoV-2 virus when CPAP and HFNO are used, compared with supplemental oxygen, to investigate the potential risks of viral transmission to healthcare workers and patients. Methods 30 hospitalised patients with...
