[MCOH-EH] Are N95 masks required for bronchoscopies

[Diane Shaw]

We do not have a negative air flow room for bronchoscopies. All patients must have 3 negative AFB smears before they can have the procedure. Are staff required to wear an N95, no matter what , because it is an aerosol generating procedure?
