In case any of you need a refresher on donning/doffing PPE, see videos below. The first is on normal PPE. Would recommend skipping to the 5 minute mark or so on the first one.

This video below is on the donning/doffing of PAPRs/hoods. We haven’t moved towards using these just yet, and I’ll provide some additional review/education/training in the near future, especially if we begin to push towards using them. Can skip to about the 4 minute mark on this one if you like.

First off, it’s not currently recommended to perform CT Chest on all suspected Covid patients.

If you’re doing a CT Chest for rule-out Covid-19 you must put this in the order comments/indication. If you’re scanning a patient who is under isolation precautions due to possible Covid, and order a CT PE Protocol, put Possible Covid, Rule-Out PE. The reason behind this is they’ll take the patient to the basement so that they don’t have to shut down the ED scanner. Thanks.
