Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to evaluate the risk of coronavirus transmission to healthcare workers during aerosol-generating procedures and assess the effectiveness of personal protective equipment (PPE) in mitigating this risk.
- A systematic search of medical databases identified 17 studies relevant to the transmission of coronaviruses in anesthesia and critical care settings, which were used for meta-analysis.
- Key findings indicated that certain procedures like endotracheal intubation and nebulized medication administration significantly increased the risk of transmission, while the use of N95 masks, gowns, and gloves substantially reduced the risk of healthcare workers contracting the virus.
