Are aerosols cleared out of a room before starting an aerosol releasing procedure like an endoscopy? is there normally some type of air purification post post procedure? getting scoped and im afraid there will be aerosols from the previous pt. worry?

Negative pressure: Most procedure rooms have ventilation systems designed into bvb them from the start to deal with exactly these problems. Some are even negative pressure rooms that actively suck out the room's air and replaced it on an ongoing basis. Have never heard of problems from aerosolized infections due to procedures in all the medical literature I read. Just forsaking not happen with proper ventilation.

Negative pressure : Hospitals and ASCS usually use negative pressure rooms. At our ASC, besides negative pressure, the rooms have a certain amount of down time and all surfaces are cleaned with disinfectant after each procedure. That is usually not true for office based, so you might want to steer clear of procedures done in the office until the vaccine.
