Position of EGD in Droplet Spreading

The association between position of upper gastrointestinal endoscopy (EGD) and saliva droplet spreading has never been studied. In the era of contagious viral spreading, this pilot study is aimed to assess adenosine triphosphate (ATP) at the face shield of endoscopist which can represent the saliva droplet spreading of patients in left lateral and prone position during EGD.

Who can participate

Healthy volunteers accepted: No

Only the study team can determine whether someone qualifies for participation.

Inclusion criteria

  • Patients who have the indication for upper gastrointestinal endoscopy

Exclusion criteria

  • Cannot be in prone position
  • The endoscopist deny the assigned position in any reason.

Treatment and study plan

Left lateral Position during intervention

Other

Left lateral position during EGD

Prone Position during intervention

Other

Prone position during EGD

Primary outcomes

  1. The level of adenosine triphosphate (ATP) on face shield of endoscopist

    Time frame: immediately following the procedure

    Measuring the ATP on face shield of endoscopist by using ATP luminometer. It is measured in relative light unit (RLU). The level of ATP is concordant with the level of bacteria on that measuring object.
