Quantitative evaluation of aerosol generation during manual facemask ventilation

A. J. Shrimpton et al.

Summary: The study shows that manual facemask ventilation, even with an intentional leak, does not generate high levels of bioaerosol. Therefore, the authors argue that facemask ventilation should not be considered an aerosol-generating procedure.

A quantitative evaluation of aerosol generation during tracheal intubation and extubation

J. Brown et al.

Summary: The study found that extubation generates more detectable aerosol than intubation but still falls below the current criteria for designation as a high-risk aerosol-generating procedure. These novel findings provide a quantitative methodology for risk assessment and suggest the need to reassess what constitutes an aerosol-generating procedure and the associated precautions for routine anaesthetic airway management.

Improved Testing and Design of Intubation Boxes During the COVID-19 Pandemic

David M. Turer et al.

Summary: This study aimed to quantify the ability of passive protective enclosures for intubation to contain aerosols using industry standard test protocols. The results showed that passive enclosures were unable to fully prevent smoke leakage, but the addition of a vacuum and active air filtration system effectively reduced aerosol spread.

Analytical challenges when sampling and characterising exhaled aerosol

Florence K. A. Gregson et al.

Summary: Sampling respiratory aerosols presents challenges due to the polydisperse nature of particles, low emission concentrations, and dynamic jet emissions. Commercial instruments capable of counting single particles <20 μm are available, but careful consideration of flow rates, sampling durations, and background concentrations is necessary to accurately quantify aerosol plume size distributions.

COVID-19: Does the infectious inoculum dose-response relationship contribute to understanding heterogeneity in disease severity and transmission dynamics?

Wim Van Damme et al.

Summary: The dose of virus in the initial inoculum may be related to the severity of COVID-19 disease and its transmission potential, leading to severe local outbreaks and large-scale epidemics in certain contexts. Further research is needed to validate this hypothesis.

Longitudinal Monitoring of SARS-CoV-2 RNA on High-Touch Surfaces in a Community Setting

Abigail P. Harvey et al.

Summary: Environmental surveillance of SARS-CoV-2 on high-touch surfaces in a community setting during a COVID-19 outbreak revealed a low risk of infection from contaminated surfaces. The percentage of positive samples from high-touch surfaces predicted variations in COVID-19 cases at the city-level with a 7-day lead time, suggesting that this surveillance method could serve as an early warning tool for monitoring case trends.

Accurate Representations of the Microphysical Processes Occurring during the Transport of Exhaled Aerosols and Droplets

Jim S. Walker et al.

Summary: Aerosols and droplets expelled during respiratory events are crucial in transmitting pathogens, but there are uncertainties in understanding the microphysics of aerosol droplets. Research shows that sedimentation outcomes vary in sensitivity to composition and environmental conditions based on droplet size, with evaporation process nature playing a key role in influencing the outcome.

Endotracheal intubation of COVID-19 patients by paramedics using a box barrier: A randomized crossover manikin study

Oren Feldman et al.

Summary: This pilot study found that paramedics wearing personal protective equipment can successfully perform endotracheal intubation using a barrier box, but the intubation time may be prolonged. The applicability of these findings to the care of COVID-19 patients needs further investigation.
