Ebola Patient Transport Drill | Johns Hopkins Medicine and Lifeline

Designated teams at all of the Johns Hopkins Medicine hospitals have trained for many months to respond to the likelihood that we would care for a patient with Ebola virus disease. To fortify these preparedness plans, a drill was conducted on Nov. 6 to simulate the transport of two patients with Ebola being transferred from Johns Hopkins Bayview Medical Center to The Johns Hopkins Hospital. As part of the drill, two people with symptoms of Ebola presented themselves in Johns Hopkins Bayview’s Emergency Department. Staff from Johns Hopkins Bayview and the Johns Hopkins Lifeline team donned and doffed their protective personal equipment, and Lifeline used specialized equipment to take them by ambulance to The Johns Hopkins Hospital’s Emergency Department. www.hopkinsmedicine.org/ebola/

Because of the pure terror of the virus

[@joeaguilar2356]

That kinda makes you feel like an alien when you are in the bag when they transport you but if for your own good

[@trinitylivingston1286]

And when they are wearing those suits.

[@Sora-xl5ti]

Joe Aguilar well it’s not for the patient’s wellbeing it’s for the people around them, particularly medical personnel.

[@DeepSeas..]

@@Sora-xl5ti Yes, it is. You think anyone's going to bother treating you if they think there's any chance that they may become infected? Ensuring the safety of the medical personnel increases the chances that they'll be able to administer aid.

[@yusufswjy]

well its your comfort vs the life of millions of people in your country

[@Sora-xl5ti]

Yusuf Ebola isn’t really a huge threat to the general population as it’s spread through bodily fluids like vomit, blood sweat etc. This is however a big risk for hospital staff and medical transport personnel.
