Abstract:
Covid-19 has changed the way medical services are being delivered all around the world. Otolaryngology as a speciality is anecdotally associated with high risk of infection. Endoscopies can be associated with aerosolization of particles due to cough or sneeze which may be induced. An overhaul of endoscopy and associated procedures is necessary keeping in mind the prevailing situations. This paper aims at a review of the on-going research and development of a road map for safe endoscopies-both for patients and heath care workers.
