Summary

According to preexisting data, it has revealed the fundamental role that aerosols play in the transmission of the COVID-19 virus. Esophagogastroduodenoscopy (EGD), producing particle smaller than 5 microns, was regarded as 'aerosol-generating procedures' (AGPs) associated with an increased risk of transmission of respiratory pathogens to healthcare workers. The strategies aim to reduce spreading of aerosol during the procedure should be beneficial. Using an acrylic box to cover the head of a patient undergoing an endoscopy seems to reduce aerosol scatter and reduce the spread of respiratory pathogens. At present, there are no high-quality studies that provide quantitative data on the use of head box to reduce aerosol generation.
