Position of EGD in Droplet Spreading

Not Applicable

Completed

• Conditions: Cotamination on Face Shield
• Interventions: Other: Left lateral Position during intervention; Other: Prone Position during intervention

• Registration Number: NCT04329013
• Lead Sponsor: King Chulalongkorn Memorial Hospital

Brief Summary

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.

Arm && Interventions

Group	Intervention	Description
Left lateral position	Left lateral Position during intervention	The patient will be in left lateral position during EGD
Prone position	Prone Position during intervention	The patient will be in prone position during EGD

Primary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
The level of adenosine triphosphate (ATP) on face shield of endoscopist	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.
