New Endoscopic Practices Due to COVID-19
Due to the rapid spread of COVID-19, endoscopy procedures that pertain to IBD have much more stringent requirements and safety protocols in place. Unfortunately, many patients who suffer from IBD are at an elevated risk of contracting COVID-19 due to treatments associated with the disorder. Additionally, endoscopy can be classified as a high risk mode of transmission due to the high risk of aerosol generating actions from patients, such as coughing or gagging.
