Coblation and electrocautery procedures generate .100-fold increases in aerosol concentrations over background; only coblation and drilling produce aerosolized viral DNA. 10, 11 We proposed to build on these studies by measuring particle size and concentration and by trying to detect aerosolized viral DNA and viable virus during common otolaryngology procedures, using a murine model for cytomegalovirus (CMV) infection. The results also indicated that drilling and microdebrider did not cause statistically significant increases in aerosol concentrations and total counts when compared with background (.870 \ Tukey-adjusted P value \ .930; Figures 2 and 3 , Table 3 ). The results from our study demonstrate that a number of these procedures can generate relatively large concentrations of aerosolized particles and that a significant percentage are small enough to pass unimpeded through conventional surgical and even N95 masks. ./cache/cord-285077-okwck5sv.txt ./txt/cord-285077-okwck5sv.txt
