Q&A: Does the 20 minute wait time still apply? - OSAP 2021 Virtual Conference

CLIP: Moderator Nancy Dewhirst asks a question from the OSAP audience about whether or not to still wait 20 minutes between patients.

Dr. Miller:
- This really depends on ACH; higher ACH means faster cleaning.
- Definitely some time is recommended, but the time between aerosols entering the room and being cleaned from the air varies with ACH.
