Related and Unrelated to COVID19 , what is the data on treating a pt with a Nebulizer for a respiratory complaint, and any potential to aerosolize or spread influenza, Covid19, or other pathogens ? thank you
What are other providers with beards doing for masks? PAPR for every patient with a respiratory illness or inadequate N95 mask? No cases yet in my area but just curious what others are doing as this spreads. Thanks!

Not sure about evidence but, any open system (nebs, nasal canula) is likely to aerosolize particles from what I undestand

Owen - great question. Aside from shaving the beard, I think you have to go with PAPR or something with a full hood. The N95 definitely won't cut it.
