{{DiscussTask | With regards to AGMP (aerosol generating medical procedures) At HSC we have been using this for TISS and CCI when patients are on BIPAP/CPAP, optiflow, as this is often continuous for several hours or days. We do not use this for one time AGMP's where there is no other indication for isolation ie. intubation, bronchosopy, laryngoscopy, CPR, admistration of nebulizing meds. Some sites have not been doing this, we need to clarify this. [[User:Lkaita|Lisa Kaita]] 12:43, 2021 October 26 (CDT)}} | |||
