PPE for EMGs?

This forum made possible through the generous support of SDN members, donors, and sponsors. Thank you.
Prescreen patients for any symptoms or recent contacts
Mask for both the patient and myself
 
All of ours are getting COVID testing within 48 hours of the procedure. Then mask for patient and physician.
 
What are you all wearing for performing EMGs these days?

n95? gown? faceshield? regular surgical mask? nothing at all?

I think that would create quite a stir...

On the inpatient side, our therapists are just wearing masks, and they’re spending an hour in very close contact with each patient. RNs also masking. No gowns. Gloves just if indicated normally. Patients also masked, but tolerance/willingness varies (it’s hard to get a TBI to wear a mask)
