The clinical reality is that chest compressions produce excretions from a patient&#8217;s nose and mouth. As such, irrespective of whether this is via aerosol or droplet or both, this poses a demonstrable risk to health care professionals.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">That stance was backed by Doctors&#8217; Association UK.
