It's good to hear that they're taking the time to offer specialized training. A note, when we (Emory) initially started prepping for our patient(s) on July 31st, we quickly realized that N95 masks were not going to be comfortable for 8-12 hours in an isolation room setting. That's why we made the switch to PAPRs.

If you'd like to compare with what we're doing, we recently released all of our protocols surrounding Ebola and the SCDU, at Emory ebola protocols . We also included videos that show the proper method of donning/doffing this level of ppe.

Thanks!

I wouldn't be surprised if we saw some videos similar to that.


As for the N95, I'll have to ask in training about that.


I just cared for a rule out TB patient this week that required a sitter at bedside at all times due to her verbalizing suicidal thoughts. The poor sitter had to sit in there the entire 12 hours(with breaks of course) with the N95 on....I couldn't have done it(esp since I'm claustrophobic).
