With the outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID‐19), clinicians have used personal protective equipment to avoid transmission of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2. However, they still face occupational risk of infection, when treating COVID‐19 patients. This may be highest during invasive diagnostic procedures releasing aerosols and droplets. Thereby, the use of diagnostic procedures for Covid‐19 associated aspergillosis may be delayed or impeded, as use of bronchoscopy has been discouraged. This leads to avoidance of a crucial procedure for diagnosing invasive aspergillosis. We intent to visualise aerosol and droplet spread and surface contamination during bronchoscopy and address which measures can avoid exposure of health‐care workers.

用于诊断 COVID-19 相关肺曲霉病的支气管镜检查安全预防措施——一项模拟研究

随着 2019 年冠状病毒病 (COVID-19) 的爆发，临床医生已使用个人防护装备来避免严重急性呼吸系统综合症冠状病毒 2 的传播。然而，在治疗 COVID-19 患者时，他们仍然面临职业感染风险。这在释放气溶胶和飞沫的侵入性诊断程序期间可能是最高的。因此，由于不鼓励使用支气管镜检查，因此可能会延迟或阻碍对 Covid-19 相关曲霉病的诊断程序的使用。这导致避免了诊断侵袭性曲霉病的关键程序。我们打算在支气管镜检查过程中可视化气溶胶和飞沫扩散以及表面污染，并解决哪些措施可以避免卫生保健工作者的暴露。
