Room supplies

Bag 1 supplies: Nasal cannula, oxygen extension, tubing connector, Venti mask, and 100% NRB
Bag 2 Supplies: Yankeur Suction, Suction Catheter kit, suction tubing, 80 mm oral airway,
90 mm oral airway, & 100 cm oral airway

  1. Above you see pictures of 2 bags that will be at hand at each patient's bedside.
  2. If you open the supplies for a patient they are only to be used for that patient for the duration of their stay.
  3. Housekeeping will be wiping off the bags if they are not opened but if the seal is opened then the bag "belongs" to that patient.
  4. New supplies in a new bag will be replaced if the bag is opened for a prior patient.
  5. I expect that the suction cannister if used will be replaced in the room other wise housekeeping is only wiping down the exterior surfaces of everything.
  6. This is in an effort to decrease patient exposure especially given the volume of isolation patients we see on a daily basis.

Thanks for your help in keeping our patients safe.

Tracy
