J Formos Med Assoc. 2021 Jul 12:S0929-6646(21)00318-1. doi: 10.1016/j.jfma.2021.07.006. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTBronchoscopic interventions (BIs) and airway management for bronchoscopy are exceptionally high-risk procedures not only for anesthesiologists, pulmonologists, but also for nursing staff because they expose nurses to COVID-19-containing droplets. However, perioperative changes can be made to the anesthetic management for nonintubated BIs to minimize the spread of COVID-19.PMID:34312013 | DOI:10.1016/j.jfma.2021.07.006
