Different Modalities in Reducing Airborne Particulate Concentrations During AGP for Health Volunteers

Transmission, Patient-Professional Clinical Trial

Official title: Comparison of Different Modalities in Reducing Airborne Particulate Concentrations During Aerosol Generating Procedures for Health Volunteers: a Randomized Cross-over Trial

Status Completed

Clinical Trial Summary

Several clinical procedures have been described as aerosol generating procedure (AGP), including nebulization, high-flow nasal cannula oxygen therapy, noninvasive ventilation, and bronchial hygiene treatment, etc. However, the understanding on the transmission risk of these treatments is still unclear, particularly the methods to reduce the airborne particulate concentrations during these treatments are still lacking. This study is aimed to compare different modalities in reducing airborne particulate concentrations during these aerosol generating procedures, in order to find the most effective method to reduce particle concentrations, ultimately to decrease the transmission risk and protect health care providers.
