  1. Hi my name is Caroline bamber and today I'm going
  2. to be talking to you about hand washing and also
  3. about donning and doffing PPE properly.
  4. Um there was a study done by Michigan State University
  5. and it was talking about how they went out into
  6. public bathrooms and 95% of people were cutting corners when
  7. they were washing their hands.
  8. Three% 10 of people just weren't washing their hands at all.
  9. Um I'm a physical therapy assistant so we don and
  10. doff PPE very often uh When I was in P.
  11. T. A.
  12. School we actually had to take a whole class on
  13. how to properly wash your hands.
  14. We all thought it was kind of silly until we
  15. read stuff like these statistics and we realized it's really
  16. actually pretty appropriate to re teach adults how to wash
  17. their hands because we're busy now teaching our kids how
  18. to wash their hands.
  19. Um when it comes to hand washing the c.
  20. d. c.
  21. recommends at least 20 seconds.
  22. So that's usually homing the happy birthday song or maybe
  23. homing the A.
  24. B. CS.
  25. Uhh And when you wash your hands you always want
  26. to use soap in water and you always want to
  27. wash your poems the backs of your hands.
  28. I always get my wrists as well.
  29. And usually the most commonly missed areas right here between
  30. the thumb and the index finger.
  31. You also always want to make sure that you're getting
  32. underneath of your nails as well.
  33. And then you always rinse back with the water and
  34. this helps stop the spread of germs.
  35. And now for donning and doffing PPE here I have
  36. the gloves, the masks we don't really know really do
  37. booties but sometimes um you do usually when it's like
  38. a surgery related environment and um of course a mask.
  39. So for donning PPE.
  40. E. Um there is a certain order that we have
  41. to follow and I actually have my PPE here with
  42. me and for presentational purposes I just have my sunglasses
  43. because my goggles that I wear are at work in
  44. a sterile environment.
  45. So first we would always our gowns and then we
  46. do on our guests.
  47. Yeah and then we don't.
  48. Yeah and then last but not least it's going to
  49. be our.
  50. Yeah and now before donning all of our PPE we
  51. washed our hands and now to dolph R.
  52. P. P.
  53. E. There once again is a certain protocol that we
  54. have to follow.
  55. And there's usually always some type of receptacle that is
  56. appropriate to throw it in.
  57. It's usually gonna be your red biohazard bag.
  58. So first we take off the gloves then we take
  59. off our goggles or ratio and then our gown and
  60. then the risk.
  61. Mhm. And then we'd always remember to wash our hands
  62. again. Yeah so now I challenge you guys to go
  63. out and make sure that your family and friends are
  64. appropriately washing her hands because even though not all of
  65. us need to know how to don and doff PB,
  66. we all need to know how to wash your hands.
  67. I hope you guys stay healthy, happy and safe.
