How to Put On and Take Off Personal Protective Equipment - YouTube

There are resources on the CDC website
also for putting on and removing
[9]
personal protective equipment, donning
and doffing. And these sequences, the
[14]
posters can be pulled down, and you can
practice with these. And many of you have
[19]
already accessed these resources and
done them before. I think the one thing
[24]
to keep in mind is that combination of
PPE used and, therefore, the sequence in
[30]
putting it on will be determined by the
level of precautions required. So the
[34]
posters are available for download, and I
courage all of you to go to the link and
[38]
download these. Next slide, please.
Now the steps for donning PPE — obviously
[46]
we would want to start with a gown — and
prior to that perform hand hygiene —
[53]
putting it on carefully and tying it,
depending upon if it's tied in the back, or a
[57]
snap down, or a zip down in the front. The
next step would be to actually put on a
[64]
mask or a respirator and secure the ties
or elastic bands at the middle of the
[70]
head and the neck. Again, you want to
ensure that you're following the
[75]
appropriate directions for putting that
on according to the manufacturer. And
[79]
then you would put on goggles or face
shield over the face and eyes and adjust
[85]
the fit. If there is any risk of
contamination, you obviously want to make
[92]
sure that you would then be performing
hand hygiene and then putting your
[97]
gloves on. And in doing so, you'd want to
make sure if you have a cuffed gown, that
[102]
you put the sleeves of the glove up over
the cuff of the gown itself. Next slide,
[109]
please.
Now in terms of removing — doffing, — there
[113]
are two different potential steps that
you would follow. The first step,
[119]
obviously, would be to remove the gloves.
The outside's contaminated. So what you
[126]
would want to do is grasp the outside of
the glove with the opposite gloved hand
[130]
and sort of peel it back. And then, with
that inverted glove, hold the removed
[137]
glove in
your hand and slide the fingers of the
[139]
under glove in the remaining glove to
the wrist, and then peel that one back
[144]
and dispose of the gloves. If there's any
concern at that point that there's been
[149]
contamination on the hands — at that point
you would stop and perform hand hygiene.
[154]
Now if you are outside of the room when
you are doing this, you would remove the
[160]
goggles or eye protection next, and as
you do that keep in mind that the front
[165]
of the goggles and the sides of the
face mask where the goggles may be
[170]
contaminated. So you'd want to remove it
behind the head. Next slide, please
[176]
A second approach would be to remove the
gown — front sleeves are always
[183]
contaminated — unfasten the tides and pull
them away and turn the gown inside out
[188]
and fold it or roll it into a bundle, and
then remove the mask. So if you're in an
[195]
operatory room and you're removing your
personal protective equipment, it would
[201]
be best to follow this step, and keep
your mask and face shield on until you
[207]
would exit the room and, obviously,
dispose of in a waste receptacle and
[212]
then perform hand hygiene.
