PPE Use in Healthcare Settings I: Donning
0 Views •
2023
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
0 Views •
2023
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
Selection begins with the anticipated route and level of exposure, rather than with a fixed equipment list. The protocol links that assessment to barrier types, including gloves, gowns, masks, respirators, and eye protection. This matching approach helps clinical personnel address the specific infectious, hazardous, or other clinical risk present during an encounter.
Fit and hand hygiene support the barrier system by reducing opportunities for contamination. Equipment must fit correctly to perform its protective role, while hand hygiene is integrated into the process rather than treated as a separate substitute for PPE. Together, these measures help prevent contamination during patient care and strengthen consistent infection-control practice.
Protection depends on more than wearing equipment during care. Donning establishes the intended barriers before exposure, whereas doffing removes them in a controlled way afterward. Because contamination can occur during removal, treating both stages as standardized procedures helps protect workers, patients, and surrounding clinical areas.
The workflow addresses selecting equipment for the anticipated exposure, putting it on correctly, using the barriers during the task, removing them correctly, and disposing of them afterward. Hand hygiene is also incorporated into this process. Addressing these stages together creates a consistent approach instead of relying on equipment selection alone.
Disposal forms part of the protocol after protective equipment has been removed. Including this step helps prevent used barriers from becoming another source of contamination and keeps the workflow complete from preparation through cleanup. Standardized disposal also supports safer, more reliable clinical practice and contributes to limiting healthcare-associated transmission.
Clinical teams apply these protocols during patient assessment, specimen collection, surgery, isolation care, and environmental cleaning. Each activity may involve a different anticipated route or level of exposure, so the required barriers can vary. Applying the protocol across these settings helps align protective measures with the task and supports safer care.
Consistent implementation protects both patients and healthcare workers while helping limit healthcare-associated transmission. It also makes protective practice more reliable across activities such as assessment, procedures, specimen collection, and cleaning. The value comes from applying selection, fit, hand hygiene, donning, doffing, and disposal as connected parts of one standardized clinical process.
