Abstract :
[en] [en] OBJECTIVE: The objective of this study was to appreciate the tolerance and convenience of a new FFP2 mask allowed the realization of nasal examination in period of pandemic. METHODS: Fifty-one patients were prospectively recruited from two European hospitals to test the FFP2 mask prototype. The following outcomes were evaluated in patients after the clinical examination: fear about coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) infection; easiness of mask placement; tolerability; reassurance; and overall satisfaction about the use of this kind of mask in a pandemic context. Seven otolaryngologists evaluated the mask acceptance and usefulness in patients through a standardized physician-reported outcome questionnaire. RESULTS: Fifty patients completed the evaluation. There were 25 males and 25 females. The mean age of patients was 41 years. Ninety percent of patients considered that the use of the mask reduced the risk to be infected during the examination. Seventy percent of patients reported high or very high satisfaction and should recommend mask to other patients in pandemic period. The realization of nasal examination was easier with optic compared with flexible trans-nasal examination (p = 0.001), which significantly impacted the satisfaction level of physician (p = 0.001). The physician difficulty to perform the examination significantly impacted the satisfactory of patient (p = 0.033). CONCLUSION: The new bioserenity FFP2 mask allows the realization of the trans-nasal endoscopic examination during a pandemic. The use of this mask requires little training period of physician. The use of this mask prototype is well received by patients who reported better perception of self-protection against the virus.
