Abstract
The ongoing COVID-19 pandemic has thrown a dual challenge before health care workers to treat patients and as well protect themselves. The aerosol generating procedures (AGPs) such as nebulization, bag and mask ventilation, endotracheal intubation carries a maximum risk of viral spread. Most of the above procedures are performed by anaesthesiologists, hence they are recommended to wear highest level of protection.
