Important Information
PPE Recommendations:
-
Enforce universal masking and hand hygiene in your area; in addition, use of eye protection is recommended for all patient interactions
-
Staff may opt to don N-95 masks during procedures that are aerosol-generating for additional protection; please follow the N-95 re-use policy already in EP which allows 5 reuses of N-95. If staff is staying in room, they can elect to have extended use of their mask but should refrain from touching it.
-
Follow guidelines on hand hygiene after mask removal.
-
There is no recommendations to use gowns for non-PUIs/cases unless you expect gross contamination from procedure (in that case the procedure should be deferred).
