Hi Cate,
We have been using the mobile PPE stands for about 2 years now. The first ones were purchased for use in our ICU bays for when transmission based precautions were required.
Now we also use them in winter on entry to our 4-bedder rooms, when we are required to cohort our influenza patients as we don’t have enough single rooms.
Like Rachel, we use them instead of the isolation trolleys. There is less space on them for staff to fill them up with unnecessary or over supply of items.
Staff like them because they take up less room when stored away, and they can only be used for the purpose of storing PPE.Cheers

http://www.health.nsw.gov.auHi Cate,
Our ED initially purchased and implemented some of these PPE stands to assist in reducing the foot print being taken up by ‘isolation’ trolleys. These were so successful as they are more compact in the floor areas occupied and increased the profile of the presence of transmission-based precautions that other areas in our organisation have not adopted these.
We are routinely using them across our organisation in situations where the room does not have an ante-room and the patient/s are being managed under TBP.
There are a number of different types with very different prices. Happy to speak more about our choices off-line.
I am very pleased at the improved compliance with TBP that has resulted from the use of these devices!
Kind regards
Rachel……………………………………………………………………………..

We are looking at purchasing PPE stands. Could you let me know if you use them and they are useful or otherwise. Any advice would be most helpful.
