Issue Date: | 19-Oct-2021 | Publisher: | Elsevier BV | Citation: | Lim, Wei-Yang, Ng, Bryan, Lee, Chun-Kiat, Shen, Jiayi, Koh, Calvin, Lee, Pyng (2021-10-19). Strategy for Safe Bronchoscopy during COVID pandemic.. Ann Thorac Surg. ScholarBank@NUS Repository. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.athoracsur.2021.09.034 | Abstract: | Aerosol generating procedures are avoided for COVID-19 patients to lower the risk of transmission to healthcare providers. However, when bronchoscopy is indicated, it remains unclear if the procedure performed under general anesthesia leads to contamination of the surroundings and if standard endoscopy reprocessing methods are effective in eradicating SARS-CoV-2. We share our experience of bronchoscopic retrieval of airway foreign body under general anesthesia in a patient tested positive for novel 2019 coronavirus disease (COVID 19). We focus on anesthesia techniques to minimise aerosolization. | Source Title: | Ann Thorac Surg | URI: | https://scholarbank.nus.edu.sg/handle/10635/206182 | ISSN: | 00034975 15526259 |
