A review of the extant scientific literature regarding aerosol generating procedures (AGPs) in the healthcare environment has been undertaken to form evidence based recommendations for practice. The specific objectives of the review are to determine:

• What is an aerosol generating procedure (AGP)?

• Which procedures are considered to be aerosol generating?
