Direct impact of the COVID ‐19 pandemic on rhinology practice
Key pointsThe pandemic caused an increase in computed tomography imaging in patients with sinusitis, which persisted post-COVIDNasal endoscopies significantly decreased during COVID but returned to pre-COVID levels in 2022The management of cerebrospinal fluid leaks, tumors, and orbital pathology was not impacted by the pandemic

The Direct Impact of the COVID ‐19 Pandemic on Rhinology Practice
ConclusionsCOVID-19 significantly affected the number of patients seen, virtual visit encounters, nasal endoscopies, and imaging utilization. Further research is needed to determine if patient outcomes were impacted and if these changes in practice will persist.This article is protected by copyright. All rights reserved

Nasal endoscopy, room filtration, and aerosol concentrations during live outpatient encounters: a prospective, case ‐control study
ConclusionUsing advanced instrumentation and a comparative study design, aerosol concentration was shown to be no greater during nasal endoscopy versus no endoscopy encounters. HEPA filter utilization reduced aerosol concentrations significantly faster than no HEPA filter.

Impact of COVID-19 Pandemic on Ambulatory and Operating Room Rhinology Practice in the US.
CONCLUSION: COVID-19 has drastically affected rhinologic practice. There is a dramatic reduction of in person care in the office setting and surgical management of sinonasal and skull base disease. Enhanced PPE is being used in only half of potentially aerosolizing procedures which represents an area of further education. Novel approaches such as use of virtual encounters and point of care testing should be considered as options to facilitate care. PMID: 33019817 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
