  • >> I'M DR. QUILLAN, FACULTY HERE AT GRCC,

  • AND SUPERVISING DENTIST IN THE DENTAL AUXILIARY DEPARTMENT.

  • WHEN YOU'RE IN THE PATIENT CLINIC,

  • THERE IS PROTOCOL FOR PLACING AND REMOVING P.P.E.

  • P.P.E. IS YOUR PERSONAL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT.

  • LET'S GO THROUGH THE STEPS.

  • THE FIRST STEP IS PUTTING ON YOUR P.P.E.

  • FOR STUDENTS, THE FIRST THING YOU'LL PUT ON IS AN OVERGOWN.

  • INSTRUCTORS WILL WEAR A WHITE CLINIC COAT.

  • NEXT, PUT ON YOUR SAFETY GLASSES AND MASK.

  • PERFORM HAND HYGIENE BEFORE PUTTING ON YOUR GLOVES.

  • WASH YOUR HANDS WITH SOAP AND WATER.

  • IF YOU HAVE ANY JEWELRY, BE SURE TO TAKE IT OFF.

  • HOWEVER, YOU DON'T HAVE TO TAKE OFF ENGAGEMENT

  • OR WEDDING RINGS.

  • ONCE YOU'VE FINISHED HAND HYGIENE,

  • YOU'RE OKAY TO PUT ON YOUR TREATMENT GLOVES.

  • IT'S REALLY IMPORTANT NOT TO TOUCH YOUR HAIR,

  • YOUR PATIENT'S CHART,

  • OR ANY OTHER EXTRANEOUS ITEMS

  • ONCE YOU'VE PUT YOUR TREATMENT GLOVES ON.

  • HERE'S HOW TO PROPERLY REMOVE YOUR P.P.E.

  • WHEN REMOVING YOUR P.P.E., YOU HAVE TWO OPTIONS.

  • THE FIRST OPTION IS TO FIRST TAKE YOUR GLOVES OFF.

  • TO DO THIS BY GRASPING THE CUFF WITHOUT TOUCHING

  • ANY OF THE CONTAMINATED SURFACES OF THE GLOVES,

  • AND PULLING THEM INSIDE OUT.

  • THEN, REMOVE YOUR MASK BY THE EAR LOOP OR THE ELASTIC TIES.

  • THIS ALLOWS YOU TO AVOID TOUCHING

  • THE CONTAMINATED PORTION OF THE MASK.

  • LASTLY, REMOVE YOUR SAFETY GLASSES

  • BY GRASPING THE TEMPLE PORTION OF THE FRAME.

  • PLACE THEM ON A PAPER TOWEL FOR WASHING LATER,

  • AND THEN WASH YOUR HANDS.

  • THE SECOND OPTION IS TO FIRST REMOVE YOUR SAFETY GLASSES

  • AND PLACE THEM ON A PAPER TOWEL FOR WASHING LATER.

  • THEN, REMOVE YOUR GLOVES BY GRASPING THE CUFF

  • AND PULLING THEM INSIDE OUT.

  • LASTLY, REMOVE YOUR MASK BY THE ELASTIC TIES OR EAR LOOPS

  • AND THEN WASH YOUR HANDS.

  • IF IT'S NECESSARY TO LEAVE THE CLINIC AREA

  • DURING PATIENT TREATMENT,

  • THIS FOLLOWING PROTOCOL SHOULD BE FOLLOWED.

  • FIRST, REMOVE YOUR P.P.E., FOLLOWING THE SAME STEPS

  • WE JUST TALKED ABOUT.

  • NEXT, STUDENTS SHOULD REMOVE THEIR OVERGOWN

  • AND FACULTY SHOULD REMOVE THEIR CLINIC COAT.

  • STUDENTS CAN HANG THEIR OVERGOWN ON THE HOOK

  • LOCATED IN THEIR OPERATORY.

  • FACULTY CAN HANG THEIR CLINIC COAT OUTSIDE OF THE RECEPTIONIST OFFICE

  • OR IN THE FACULTY LOCKER ROOM.

  • IF GOING TO THE RADIOGRAPHY SUITE,

  • YOUR MASK AND GLOVES SHOULD BE REMOVED.

  • CLEAN GLOVES WILL BE AVAILABLE WHEN YOU GET TO RADIOGRAPHY.

  • STUDENTS, YOU MAY NEED TO LEAVE YOUR OPERATORY

  • TO TALK WITH YOUR INSTRUCTOR

  • OR GET SUPPLIES FROM CENTRAL STERILIZATION.

  • IF THIS HAPPENS, YOU NEED TO WEAR OVERGLOVES

  • OVER YOUR PATIENT TREATMENT GLOVES.

  • ONCE YOU'RE BACK TO PATIENT TREATMENT,

  • BE SURE TO PUT YOUR MASK ON.

  • THEN, WASH YOUR HANDS OR USE SANITIZER

  • AND DON NEW GLOVES IF NECESSARY.

  • HERE'S A COUPLE THINGS TO REMEMBER...

  • LET'S SAY YOU NEED TO REMOVE YOUR MASK TO TALK TO A PATIENT

  • OR TO LEAVE THE IMMEDIATE AREA.

  • REMOVE YOUR GLOVES, COMPLETELY REMOVE YOUR MASK,

  • AND PLACE YOUR MASK ON THE PAPER TOWEL ON THE COUNTER.

  • THIS PART IS CRUCIAL.

  • DO NOT WEAR YOUR MASK AROUND YOUR NECK OR UNDER YOUR CHIN

  • AT ANY TIME.

  • FACULTY, LET'S SAY YOUR MASK IS NOT VISIBLY SOILED

  • OR CONTAMINATED BY AEROSOLS.

  • YOU MAY LAY IT DOWN ON A CLEAN PAPER TOWEL FOR USE

  • LATER DURING THAT CLINIC.

  • IF YOUR MASK IS VISIBLY SOILED, REPLACE IT WITH A CLEAN MASK.

  • ALSO, WHEN LEAVING THE STUDENTS' OPERATORY,

  • ALWAYS DISCARD CONTAMINATED TREATMENT GLOVES.

  • THEN, DON NEW GLOVES WHEN RETURNING.

  • THAT COVERS OUR PROTOCOL WHILE USING P.P.E.

  • THANKS FOR WATCHING, AND STAY SAFE.

  • SO IN REVIEW, WHEN PLACING P.P.E.,

  • IT'S SAFETY GLASSES, MASK, THEN GLOVES.

  • REMEMBER, DON'T TOUCH YOUR HAIR, PATIENT'S CHART,

  • OR ANY EXTRANEOUS ITEMS WITH PATIENT TREATMENT GLOVES ON.

  • DON'T WEAR YOUR MASK AROUND YOUR NECK OR UNDER YOUR CHIN.

  • ALWAYS DON OVERGLOVES OR REMOVE PATIENT TREATMENT GLOVES

  • WHEN LEAVING YOUR OPERATORY.
