Prevention of Droplet Dispersal with ‘e‐mask’: A New Daily Use Endoscopic Mask During Bronchoscopy

Bronchoscopy is an airborne particle‐generating procedure. However, few methods for safe bronchoscopy have been developed. To reduce airborne particles during bronchoscopy, we created an ‘e‐mask’, which is a simple, disposable mask for patients. Our objective was to evaluate the e‐mask's protective ability against airborne particles and to assess respiratory adverse events and complications.
