Abstract

Bronchoscopy is an aerosol-generating procedure with important diagnostic and therapeutic indications. However, in the era of the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic, airway procedures can put health care providers at an increased risk of exposure and transmission of COVID-19. We have reviewed and summarized guidelines from various societies of respiratory medicine to stratify the indications for bronchoscopy and optimize preprocedural, procedural, and postprocedural preparation. Appropriate measures can help decrease exposure to health care workers when performing this aerosol-generating procedure.
