The aim of the presented study was therefore to develop an experimental setup for the simultaneous assessment of aerosol and particle formation in various typical ENT interventions. Similarly, no particle or aerosol formation was detected during mechanical impact by use of a passive instrument in direct tissue contact with additional suction (cf. The laser treatment of the tissue did not lead to a detectable particle formation at any of the three points in time of the analysis (see Fig. 3 , third line). ./cache/cord-273382-7w8fli6w.txt ./txt/cord-273382-7w8fli6w.txt
