The delivery of endoscopic care is changing rapidly in the era of Coronavirus
Disease 2019 (COVID-19). The North American Society for Pediatric
Gastroenterology, Hepatology, and Nutrition (NASPGHAN) Endoscopy and Procedures
Committee has formulated this statement to offer practical guidance to help
standardize endoscopy services for pediatric patients with the aim of minimizing
COVID-19 transmission to staff, patients, and caregivers and to conserve personal
protective equipment (PPE) during this critical time. Appropriate use of PPE is
essential to minimize transmission and preserve supply. Pediatric endoscopic
procedures are considered at high risk for COVID-19 transmission. We recommend
that all pediatric endoscopic procedures are done in a negative pressure room
with all staff using proper airborne, contact, and droplet precautions regardless
of patient risk stratification. This includes appropriate use of a filtering
face-piece respirator (N95, N99, FFP2/3, or PAPR), double gloves, facial
protection (full visor and/or face shield), full body water-resistant disposable
gown, shoe covers and a hairnet. In deciding which endoscopic procedures should
proceed, it is important to weigh the risks and benefits to optimize healthcare
delivery and minimize risk. To inform these decisions, we propose a framework for
stratifying procedures as emergent (procedures that need to PROCEEED), urgent
(PAUSE, weigh the benefits and risks in deciding whether to proceed) and elective
(POSTPONE procedures). This statement was based on emerging evidence and is meant
as a guide. It is important that all endoscopy facilities where pediatric
procedures are performed follow current recommendations from public health
agencies within their jurisdiction regarding infection prevention and control of
COVID-19.
