“…Studies visualizing airborne particles demonstrate the e‐mask reduces the number of particles by four orders of magnitude, with no major impacts on incidence of complications. A handful of previous reports have described similar findings, some with ‘home‐spun’ barrier devices and modified surgical masks, 6,7 and at least one with purpose‐manufactured masks to aid bronchoscopy 8 . All studies report marked reduction in airborne particles using a variety of methodologies.…”

“…A handful of previous reports have described similar findings, some with 'home-spun' barrier devices and modified surgical masks, 6,7 and at least one with purposemanufactured masks to aid bronchoscopy. 8 All studies report marked reduction in airborne particles using a variety of methodologies. It is a further reminder of the potential for simple interventions to aid in minimizing the risk of airborne transmission associated with any AGP.…”

“…As previously reported, the e-mask was designed as a nonwoven surgical mask that is 175-mm wide and 95-mm long, with a 160-mm elastic. 13 The mask has a 10-mm crossshaped slit (endoscope hole) in the centre and X-shaped slits (catheter holes) on either side (Figure 1A). Further details are provided in Appendix S1 in the Supporting Information.…”

“…[10][11][12] To minimize ABP dispersal during bronchoscopy, we developed a simple and disposable mask with help from the Japanese mask industry. 13 This 'e-mask' has a 10-mm slit in the centre for insertion of a bronchoscope and a 6-mm slit on both sides for insertion of a suction catheter.…”

“…To evaluate droplet generation during tooth brushing, a particle visualization system [11,12] was used while participants brushed with their mouths open and closed. Dispersing droplets from the mouth were flashed continuously by Parallel Eye E (Shin Nippon Air Technologies, Tokyo, Japan).…”
