#Tweetorial on @AmerGastroAssn NEWLY released #COVID19 Rapid Review & #Guidelines in @AGA_Gastro! The most evidence-based #GI guidance on #PPE & #endoscopy #triage using #GRADE methodology @SultanShazi @SeragHashem @PDavitkov @DrJFeuerstein 1/13
Background: Healthcare workers are at ⬆️ risk for #COVID w/o adequate #PPE (20-30% of cases). In #GI, upper scopes are aerosolized-generating procedures (AGPs) & therefore even ⬆️ risk for #COVID. Lower scopes also = ⬆️ risk 2/2 some e/o AGPs w/bx + fecal oral spread. 2/13
Rec 1: Wear N95s (or better) for all upper scopes REGARDLESS of #COVID status. (Strong rec, mod quality evid). Why? Testing is inadequate & w/community spread, take universal precautions. If rapid testing for endo pts is avail, prioritize #N95s for known COVID 3/13
