AJRCCM: The study reveals the key details of COVID-19 respiratory transmission!

, June 30, 2020 /PRNewswire-BiovalleyBIOON / -- In a new published article, scientists provide a detailed, evidence-based overview of how droplets in patients infected with SARS-CoV-2 spread through the air and describe how health care professionals protect themselvesThis outlook is published in the American Journal of Respiratory and Critical Care Medicine of the American Society of Thoracic Science, entitled "Coughs and Sneezes: Role in Their And Respiratory Viral Infections, SARS-CoV-2." In, DrRajiv Dhand, President and Deputy Director of Clinical Affairs, Department of Medicine, University of Tennessee School of Medicine, and DrJie Li, Associate Professor of Respiratory Health AtTA AtRush University Medical Center, describe the type, size, size, sedimentation in the respiratory system, how medical operations and equipment spread these droplets, and the risks to health care professionalsPicture Source:"Concerns about the use of aerosol therapy in patients with COVID-19 are related to their possible spread of infectious aerosols," said DrDhand,"Our recommendations provide a balanced, scientific view of the use of this atomization therapy for patients infected with SARS-CoV-2(the virus that causes COVID-19)air particles can be produced through various aerosol generation procedures (AGPs), such as suction or tracpipe intubation, as well as aerosol generators, especially jet sprayers"AGPs such as intubation, bronchoscopy, physiotherapy, and suction produce potentially infectious bioaeroas by causing coughing and are associated with increased infection rates among healthcare workers," the authors saidIn contrast, AGPs such as oxygen therapy, high-flow wetting nasal intubation, non-invasive ventilation and hand-controlled ventilation are less involved in 'producing' bioaerosols, and more involve sourcing 'bioaerothetics' farther away from patients"
, DrDhand and Li, point out that because of the poor quality of research in this area, there is limited evidence linking AGPs to the spread of viral infections They also noted that aerosols produced by medical aerosol generators do not contain pathogens unless the aerosol device is contaminated the authors made a number of recommendations to reduce the spread of respiratory infections, which are consistent with the guidelines of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention They include (detailed articles): avoid irritation of the respiratory tract and trigger severe coughing, minimize exposure to infectious aerosols; health care providers should keep a distance of 6 feet from infected patients if possible, especially when they cough or sneeze; use mechanical ventilators, set up a barrier to filter viruses or place filters or attach to oxygen mask s on the ventilators to reduce the spread of the virus; Patients who breathe spontaneously can shorten the spread of the virus or reduce the load of the virus by wearing surgical masks or paper towels on their faces, especially when coughing, sneezing or talking, equip health care workers with personal protective equipment, and ideally, infected patients should live in single rooms to prevent the spread of molyblets, but it is also acceptable for two patients infected with the same infection spread by respiratory droplets to live in the same room Picture Source: Dr Dhand, of american Journal of The AndEr esChews and Critical Care Medicine, concludes: "Coughing and sneezing produce droplets of different sizes, spreading respiratory viruses and causing infections Because these droplets are strongly discharged, they are dispersed in the environment and can be inhaled by vulnerable hosts Although most droplets are filtered by the nose or deposited in the mouth and throat, smaller droplet nuclei are suspended in indoor air and may be inhaled by people farther away from the patient these fine particles are carried into the lungs by air flow, and their deposition depends on their size and shape, and is controlled by various mechanisms The respiratory transmission of the SARS-CoV-2 virus, which causes COVID-19, is mainly through respiratory droplets Appropriate protective measures must be taken to prevent the spread of the virus in all cases In the new paper, scientists provide a detailed, evidence-based overview of how COVID-19 droplets in infected patients spread through the air, and describe how health care professionals protect themselves The lung perspective was published in the American Journal of Respiratory and Critical Care medicine of the American Society of Thoracic Science (BioValleyBioon.com) reference: New Articles details of the coVID-19 transmission Rajiv Dhand et al.
