In this episode, Matthew speaks to Jason Slabach, a Nurse Anesthetist who took care of ebola patients at Emory University when he was an ICU nurse. He shares his experiences taking care of these patients and compares and contrasts the lessons learned with the current COVID-19 pandemic. He also details the proper procedures for putting on and taking off personal protective equipment.
After we finished recording, Jason mentioned a website that he highly recommends for information regarding PPE, safety, and up to the minute information on COVID-19. There is a huge host of information that can be useful to healthcare providers or anyone who wishes to learn more. It is The National Emerging Special Pathogen Training and Education Center (NETEC).
