[MCOH-EH] [EXTERNAL] Re: PAPR use in the OR suite

[Wardecke, Jon]

We do not use PAPR's in surgery (sterile field).  Follow link to recent
OSHA document indicating the following:

 

Currently, there is insufficient evidence to support the safe use of
PAPRs in these environments.

	Do any of your institutions allow for the use of a PAPR during
surgery if it is the full PAPR hood? Do any of you have a P&P around
this?  Any particular brand?

	 

	Thank you so much,
