A public service announcement from USF Health and Tampa General Hospital which explains key issues in the management of patients with suspected swine flu. Peggy Thompson, RN, and Dr. John Sinnott discuss:
1) What to do if you are a healthcare worker and you are admitting a patient who has flu symptoms?
2) Why do we wear N-95 masks but not place patients in negative-air rooms?
3) Can I reuse my protective mask and goggles?
4) How do we diagnose these patients?
5) How many swabs are needed for the lab?
6) What if visitors show up who are ill?
