Abstract
- International audience; Much has been stated about the potential risks of nasal lavages (NL) during the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic for COVID-19 patients and surrounding people. Several otolaryngological societies recommended to limit NL, supposing it may be associated with viral spread to lower airway.1 On the contrary, recent studies suggested that NL may be beneficial in upper viral respiratory infectious diseases. In order to take stock of this issue, we conducted a short literature review to address 4 main questions: - What Are the Potential Benefits of NL to COVID-19 Patients? - What Are the Potential Benefits of NL to Personal Contacts/Healthcare Workers Caring for COVID-19 Patients? - What Are the Potential Harms of NL to Patients With COVID-19? - What Are the Potential Harms of NL to Personal Contacts/HCWs Caring For COVID-19 Patients?
