Use of Simulation to Visualize Healthcare Worker Exposure to Aerosol in the Operating Room

Simul Healthc. 2022 Feb 1;17(1):66-67. doi: 10.1097/SIH.0000000000000581.

Abstract

Simulation resources offer an opportunity to highlight aerosol dispersion within the operating room environment. We demonstrate our methodology with a supporting video that can offer operating room teams support in their practical understanding of aerosol exposure and the importance of personal protective equipment.
