OBJECTIVE: In the era of SARS-CoV-2, the risk of infectious airborne aerosol
generation during otolaryngologic procedures has been an area of increasing
concern. The objective of this investigation was to quantify airborne aerosol
production under clinical and surgical conditions and examine efficacy of mask
mitigation strategies. STUDY DESIGN: Prospective quantification of airborne
aerosol generation during surgical and clinical simulation. SETTING: Cadaver
laboratory and clinical examination room. SUBJECTS AND METHODS: Airborne aerosol
quantification with an optical particle sizer was performed in real time during
cadaveric simulated endoscopic surgical conditions, including hand
instrumentation, microdebrider use, high-speed drilling, and cautery. Aerosol
sampling was additionally performed in simulated clinical and diagnostic
settings. All clinical and surgical procedures were evaluated for propensity for
significant airborne aerosol generation. RESULTS: Hand instrumentation and
microdebridement did not produce detectable airborne aerosols in the range of 1
to 10 ?m. Suction drilling at 12,000 rpm, high-speed drilling (4-mm diamond or
cutting burs) at 70,000 rpm, and transnasal cautery generated significant
airborne aerosols (P < .001). In clinical simulations, nasal endoscopy (P < .05),
speech (P < .01), and sneezing (P < .01) generated 1- to 10-?m airborne aerosols.
Significant aerosol escape was seen even with utilization of a standard surgical
mask (P < .05). Intact and VENT-modified (valved endoscopy of the nose and
throat) N95 respirator use prevented significant airborne aerosol spread.
CONCLUSION: Transnasal drill and cautery use is associated with significant
airborne particulate matter production in the range of 1 to 10 ?m under surgical
conditions. During simulated clinical activity, airborne aerosol generation was
seen during nasal endoscopy, speech, and sneezing. Intact or VENT-modified N95
respirators mitigated airborne aerosol transmission, while standard surgical
masks did not.
