Healthcare workers treating patients with infections are at risk of infection themselves. To protect themselves against lets from coughs, sneezes or body fluids from infected patients and contaminated surfaces, they use personal protective equipment (PPE), e.g., aprons, gowns or coveralls, gloves, masks and breathing equipment (respirators), and goggles.But if not worn correctly, these may endanger healthcare workers when they remove PPE. Covering more of the body leads to better protection. Coveralls are the most difficult PPE to remove but may offer the best protection, followed by long gowns and aprons. Respirators worn with coveralls may protect better than a mask worn with a gown, but are more difficult to put on. More breathable types of PPE may lead to similar levels of contamination but be more comfortable. Gowns that have gloves, and gowns that fit tightly at the neck may reduce contamination. Also, adding tabs to gloves and face masks may lead to less contamination. More breathable types provide greater comfort and satisfaction but may lead to similar contamination. Face-to-face training in PPE use is recommended as the most effective strategy to reduce errors. But to find out which combinations of PPE protect best; we still need further research findings, simulation studies with more participants, and more real-life evidence. Safe removal of PPE is ..... the way it is put on by the health workers.
