Article Synopsis
  • The study investigates aerosol production during rigid nasal endoscopy (RNE) and RNE with debridement (RNED), comparing it to intubation, which is considered a gold standard for aerosol-generating procedures.
  • Aerosol detectors were used in a clinical setting involving 234 patients, revealing that RNE and RNED produced significant aerosol particles, similar to those produced during intubation.
  • No significant differences in aerosol production were found between these procedures, highlighting a need for better definitions and understanding of aerosol-generating activities in healthcare environments.
