Double Gloving & ABHR on gloves

[Michelle Jenkins]

Good Morning All,

I am looking for advices re ABHR on gloves in the context of suspect or confirmed COVID.
During a recent simulation at our hospital staff were keen to double glove, remove the top set and use ABHR on the bottom set.
We have been sent some research articles from staff who are keen to continue with this process, which is not particularly strong and discussed more that the gloves remained intact and only looks at environmental load reduction and glove integrity.
Just wanting to know if this is something you have come up against and how you overcame it, if you we able too?

Thanks in advance for any suggestions,

Michelle
