Aerosolization of Particles During Upper Endoscopy Primary · Start of endoscopy through the end of endoscopy

Comparing the aerosolization of particles of six different sizes \[0.3μm, 0.5μm, 1μm, 2μm, 5μm and 10μm\] during endoscopy between patients using an endoscopic facemask to those without.

Sponsor's own description

Given the current Covid-19 pandemic alongside the lack of evidence on aerosolization during upper endoscopy the investigators are conducting a randomized controlled trial seeking to assess both the level of aerosolization that occurs during these procedures along with determining if utilization of an endoscopic patient face-masks reduces the level of aerosolized particles. The protocol includes the use of a commercially available particle counter the investigators are employing for the measurement of aerosols before, during, and after anesthesia assisted upper endoscopic procedures. The investigators are recruiting patients undergoing these procedures with a target of 30 patients undergoing endoscopy without a facemask and 30 patients undergoing endoscopy with one.
