Using Personal Protective Equipment During Procedures

Standards for personal protective equipment (PPE) should be

followed with every patient, and according to the descriptive

protocol circulated earlier this week in our COVID-19 updates.

Providers directly involved in procedures should don the following

equipment:

For procedures being performed that are aerosol

generating in a known or suspected COVID-19 case: An

N95 respirator, goggles AND face shield, two pairs of non-

sterile gloves (unless in the sterile field), hooded isolation

suit, and shoe covers.

For aerosol-producing procedures being performed on a

low-risk patient (such as a tracheostomy or airway

surgery where the trachea is to be opened and

ventilation may be occurring): An N95 respirator, goggles

OR face shield, and non-sterile gloves.

For all other procedures (including intubation) in low-

risk patients: Standard mask (NOT an N95 respirator), eye

protection, and gloves for ventilation and intubation.
