COVID-19: Inpatient Instructions for Use and Conservation of PPE
Updated August 20, 2020
Be sure to refresh your browser (sometimes it might cache an old version).
It is optimal to use PPE only once and then discard whenever possible. The "reuse" of PPE that is depicted in some of our recommendations is based on current supply shortages. Please consult with your supervisor if you have any questions or concerns about reuse.
- Universal masking of hospital staff which is now recommended by CDC is incorporated into our donning and doffing flyers.
- We assume procedure mask reuse due to continuing supply shortages.
- Please give us any feedback about our educational tools here.

NOTE: These videos are for use when supplies of face shield and goggles and N95 are running low. We also understand that wipes and sanitizer may become an issue in some institutions and we will continue to try and adapt as best as our Visual Medical Education team is able.
