>>11539191Yes resources can help, some nurses start go fund me's, if those are sanctioned by the hospital they are useful for being able to get PPE. For example while our ICU's go fund me wasn't allowed to buy most PPE, we could buy "luxury" PPE that wasn't officially required like hair nets, goggles, head bands with buttons to prevent breakdown from N-95 masks straps.
Yeah N-95's are re-usable more nurses need to be saving them but they need somebody directing them to do so like say, a competent healthcare organization which often don't exist. I wouldn't be surprise if UV works, I think that's what EVS uses to sanitize contact rooms but not sure if that translates to COVID rooms. Confirmed positives haven't left our ICU's yet.
>Using air extractorsHahaha let me tell you something buddy that is a great point. We started out using air extractors in COVID + rooms, very good, safe and re-assuring move. We don't have any for my COVID unit so we get some weird air filter thing that is probably doing jack shit. Air extractors are mostly grandfathered in (rightfully so) to the first COVID ICU unit
Inevitable but still funny.
