Quantifying the risk of respiratory infection in healthcare workers performing high-risk procedures 2013-12-05 .txt text/plain 3072 151 48 This study determined the risk of respiratory infection associated with high-risk procedures (HRPs) performed by healthcare workers (HCWs) in high-risk settings. In droplet transmission, pathogens or droplets which are larger than 5 μm, such as influenza virus and Bordetella pertussis are transmitted from an infected patient to HCWs through breathing, talking, coughing, sneezing, as well as through performing high-risk procedures (HRPs) [2, 7, 8] . Although various guidelines and policies for infection control measures are implemented in healthcare settings worldwide, the risk of transmission of infectious diseases while performing HRPs has not been well quantified. ./cache/cord-355171-oi3ezlsl.txt ./txt/cord-355171-oi3ezlsl.txt
