CDC: All persons entering Ebola patient’s room should wear gloves, other PPE
According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), all persons entering the patient’s room should wear at least gloves, gown (fluid resistant or impermeable), eye protection (goggles or face shield) and a face mask. Double gloving might be required, along with additional PPE, in certain situations (copious amounts of blood, other bodily fluids, vomit, or feces present in the environment).
CDC states that healthcare facilities should consider posting personnel at a patient’s door to ensure appropriate and consistent use of PPE by all persons entering the room.
