Donning PPE must be completed before contact with the patient. This process protects from infectious agents. The sequence and action included in each donning are critical, and the steps must be systematic to avoid exposure to pathogens. The institutional policy also needs to be followed while donning PPE. The pre-donning preparations are gathering equipment, inspecting the PPE equipment for tears, holes, or damage, removing jewelry, removing any garments below the elbows, and tying the hair...

PPE Use in Healthcare Settings II: Doffing

The sequence of removing or doffing PPE starts with the gloves, as they are the most contaminated. Next is removal of the face shield or goggles, as they would interfere with removing other PPE. Then remove the gown, followed by the mask or respirator. Perform hand hygiene between steps if hands become contaminated and immediately after removing all PPE. Generally, the outside front and sleeves of the isolation gown, the goggles or the mask, the respirator, and the face shield are contaminated.

FAQs
Sequencing controls how clean hands and protective barriers are introduced before patient contact or other clinical work. Starting with hand hygiene reduces contamination on the hands, while progressing through gown or coverall, mask or respirator, eye protection, and gloves supports coverage as equipment is added. A consistent order also makes omissions and incorrect placement easier to recognize during training and practice.
Fit and secure placement determine whether equipment provides its intended coverage. A mask or respirator must sit correctly, and respirator use may require a seal check to identify an inadequate seal before care begins. Eye protection should remain properly positioned, while gloves and gown or coverall should cover relevant areas. These checks help reduce exposure during infectious or hazardous clinical tasks.
PPE donning adapts to the hazard being addressed rather than serving as an isolated routine. In clinical care, it supports standard precautions and transmission-based precautions, including situations involving infectious agents, hazardous substances, splashes, or aerosols. The needed combination of gown or coverall, respiratory protection, eye protection, and gloves therefore depends on the exposure risk associated with the task.
At each stage, verify that the item is correctly positioned, secure, and providing intended coverage before adding the next layer. Particular attention goes to respiratory protection: a seal check may be needed when a respirator is used. This stepwise verification helps detect gaps or poor placement early, before patient care, specimen handling, or another exposure-prone procedure begins.
PPE donning is especially important when clinicians provide patient care, handle specimens, or perform procedures that may generate splashes or aerosols. These situations can increase opportunities for contact with infectious agents, hazardous substances, or contaminated material. Applying the sequence consistently helps align protective barriers with the task and supports both healthcare worker safety and patient safety.
Training turns the sequence into a repeatable safety behavior rather than an improvised task. Practice helps clinicians remember the order, recognize missing items, and confirm fit, coverage, and secure placement. Consistency is particularly valuable when standard or transmission-based precautions are required, because reliable execution reduces avoidable gaps in protection during routine care and higher-risk procedures.
