Abstract
VILLARREAL, Ricardo. Low cost devices to reduce aerosol effect during upper gastrointestinal endoscopy in COVID-19. Rev Col Gastroenterol [online]. 2020, vol.35, suppl.1, pp.17-20. ISSN 0120-9957. https://doi.org/10.22516/25007440.552.
Endoscopic procedures, as they are associated with exposure of the upper airway, have a higher risk of transmission of the SARS-CoV-2 virus; so, it is necessary to consider interventions to mitigate or eliminate exposure to it. In this article, we allow ourselves to present a low-cost mitigation strategy, since with the progress of the pandemic it could be in a state of austerity of economic resources, making these devices totally valid.
Keywords : COVID-19; effect; aerosol and endoscopy.
