The association between position of upper gastrointestinal endoscopy (EGD) and saliva droplet spreading has never been studied. In the era of contagious viral spreading, this pilot study is aimed to assess adenosine triphosphate (ATP) at the face shield of endoscopist which can represent the saliva droplet spreading of patients in left lateral and prone position during EGD.

| The level of adenosine triphosphate (ATP) on face shield of endoscopist | Measuring the ATP on face shield of endoscopist by using ATP luminometer. It is measured in relative light unit (RLU). The level of ATP is concordant with the level of bacteria on that measuring object. | immediately following the procedure |
