New endoscopic protocol for COVID-19
During the pandemic, our team of pediatric gastroenterologists developed a safety protocol for endoscopic procedures that protect health care providers while working with patients possibly infected with COVID-19. The protocol, published in the Journal of Pediatric Gastroenterology and Nutrition, was shared with colleagues across the country and used as a framework to classify and mitigate risks of COVID-19 infection.
