Although there is an absence of new data about transmission of the virus as an aerosol, a previous study revealed that health workers who are exposed to this kind of procedure have a 4.66 times greater probability (95% confidence interval, 3.1-6.9) of infection in comparison with others. Our current interest in the Colombia University endoscopic unit is to decrease as much as possible aerosol contamination from patients and health workers. In conclusion, we have found that wearing the face shield we have specially designed results in less contact between the patient and the environment and yields an important decrease in the quantity of droplets and aerosols produced during the procedure.
