The transmission behaviour of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus-2
(SARS-CoV-2) is still being defined. It is likely that it is transmitted
predominantly by droplets and direct contact and it is possible that there is at
least opportunistic airborne transmission. In order to protect healthcare staff
adequately it is necessary that we establish whether aerosol-generating
procedures (AGPs) increase the risk of transmission of SARS-CoV-2. Where we do
not have evidence relating to SARS-CoV-2, guidelines for safely conducting these
procedures should consider the risk of transmitting related pathogens. Currently
there is very little evidence detailing the transmission of SARS-CoV-2 associated
with any specific procedures. Regarding AGPs and respiratory pathogens in
general, there is still a large knowledge gap that will leave clinicians unsure
of the risk to themselves when offering these procedures. This review aimed to
summarize the evidence (and gaps in evidence) around AGPs and SARS-CoV-2.
