No results posted yet for this study

Summary

With a commercially available particle counter, we can differentiate the particle counts of different sizes in different areas of the endoscopy room. An increase from baseline particles of \< 5um during or after the procedure would suggest that the procedure is an AGP.

In this study, the particle counter from Met One Instruments model GT-526S will be used. A particle sizer is placed within 10cm of the anus, at the level of the endoscopists' face and at the level of the endoscopy nurse assistant's face The change in the particles of different sizes would be simultaneously recorded. The results of these three locations are compared to baseline and compared with each other
