Does anyone have instructions for the safe infection prevention removal of an all-in-one coverall suit (HazChemsuits) that you would be willing to share.
Despite all the excellent recommendations out there, we have departments that insist on using the Hazchem type suits for an Ebola patient if we get one. Unfortunately we do not usually use these outside of ED for chemical hazards and I have no resources for teaching safe removal of a contaminated suit.I would appreciate4 any discussion on this as well.
Cheers

Dear All,
In general and by principles, we follow relevant manufacturer’s Instruction For Use (IFU).
As for coverall suit, we had reviewed relevant IFU. However, hazards of second contamination are revealed, for details, please refer to https://www.youtube.com/watch?vzLbvQcpfZyQ. We had informed manufacturer for our findings for whether they have other IFU few weeks ago, and pending for response.
In light of this, we has formulated our in house SOP. If you are interested, please send email to me.
Although we do not recommend using full coverall suit in healthcare setting, for some special operation, for example culling of birds, we recommend using it after consideration unique operation requirements (extensive of environmental contamination, users’ movement etc.).
For sharing.
