Clinical characterization of respiratory large droplet production during common airway procedures using high-speed imaging
Abstract During the COVID-19 pandemic, a significant number of healthcare workers have been infected with SARS-CoV-2. However, there remains little knowledge regarding large droplet dissemination during airway management procedures in real life settings. 12 different airway management procedures wer...
