  1. Donning PPE(with PAPR)

  2. The emerging EBOLA preparedness is new for our nation and our organizations. Information changes rapidly, sometimes daily based on new findings. This information is current as of 10/22/14 and is based on CDC recommendations/guidelines. Products used in the pictures may vary from products that are available at your facility based on supplier. The principles remain the same. Consult your Infection Prevention Specialist or the Clinical Nurse Educator at your facility for further guidance or for any questions you may have.

  3. Prep • Will need 2 people for donning. • 1 associate trained to observe who will complete the checklist and read aloud each step of the procedure • Go to bathroom • Empty pockets • Change into surgical scrubs • Remove all unnecessary items (jewelry, pager, phones) • No food/gum in mouth • Put on bouffant cap/surgical cap • Tie back hair and pin up off shoulders • Wash hands • Donning will occur in the hallway and never in the anteroom. • Inspect all PPE for flaws.

  10. Put on PAPR • PAPR is donned over the blue gown to insure proper air flow • Be sure the hood extends to the shoulders and fully covers the neck. • Be sure the hood covers all of the hair and ears, and that it extends past the neck to the shoulders. • Extra care is needed to ensure skin does not become exposed with movement while wearing a PAPR – if this is not possible, do not enter into the patient room

  11. Over the cuffs of the blue impervious gown. Gloves #2

  12. The trained observer should complete the following prior to allowing the donned associate to enter the room: • Verify completion of donning checklist • Ensure there are no breaks or exposed skin • Ensure there is a sufficient range of motion for the associate to perform their job. • Extend arms, bend at the waist Verification
