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

Likelihood of diagnosis of eosinophilic esophagitis via endoscopy in dysphagia during the covid-19 pandemic
In this study, we sought to investigate whether the COVID-19 pandemic influenced the likelihood of EGD for diagnosis of EoE in patients with dysphagia.

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]

Endonasal instrumentation and aerosolization risk in the era of COVID ‐19: simulation, literature review, and proposed mitigation strategies
ConclusionWe confirm that aerosolization presents a risk to the endonasal skull base surgeon. In the outpatient setting, use of a barrier significantly reduces aerosol spread. Cold surgical instrumentation and microdebrider use pose significantly less aerosolization risk than a high ‐speed drill. Procedures requiring drill use should carry a special designation as an “aerosol‐generating surgery” to convey this unique risk, and this supports the need for protective personal protective equipment.

Rhinologic Procedures in the Era of COVID-19: Health-care Provider Protection Protocol.
CONCLUSION: According to our proposed protocol, we were able to provide care for all patients in clinic, hospital, emergent, intensive, and surgical settings with no transmission of SARS-CoV-2 by symptomatology and post evaluation testing. PMID: 32408753 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
