=====SUGGESTED WORKFLOW FOR AIRWAY BOX=====
*Remember to put what you need inside the box before intubating:
** BVM with HEPA filter, suction, vent tubing, glidescope, tube, tape to secure tube.
* You have the option of draping the other end (extra drapes available on the counter along with tape)
* After securing tube, attache the viral filter/BVM OR continuous capnometry if you have that set up.
* Remove the box from the patient and leave it in the room for at least 30 minutes over sink (to allow aerosols to clear) then retrieve for cleaning.

* Sterilize after use with germicidal wipes thoroughly and allow it to dry.
** Buddy can clean this along with glidescope. Should wear full PPE.
 
===AIRWAY GENERAL INFORMATION===
* '''Treat All Intubations as PUIs:'''
** It is up to your discretion if you want to PAPR vs N95
*** Please wear the recommended level of PPE GLA ID recommends for aerosolizing procedures.
** Please remember to document your PPE in CPRS note.
** In CPRS write an "Intubation Note" or "Emergency Physician Airway Response Note" (if no intubation performed)

  • PAPR, belt, tube, and hood are REUSABLE only the plastic cover over breathing tube is disposable.
