There are 3 things that we will ask all of you to do in preparation for COVID, since any of you might be pulled to the unit during this time frame.
1. Donning and Doffing – most self-contamination happens during doffing, and you need to have this straight for your own safety.
2. Prone Education – Dr. Pesa has firsthand knowledge of this being quite a pain and a bit different from flipping on a Jackson table. You may be pulled into a room to help nursing with this. You’re the doctor, you have to know all the steps.
3. Fit Testing – this is mostly done. If you do not know your size, please contact Lauren. I don’t need to explain why this is important.
Please review the attached prep material.
Training with be provided on Thursday and Friday on the first two items.
Prone Training – held in CTICU Bed 20
Donning/Doffing – held in Bolwell 2400 Classroom
