cord-335638-p84nmtfp	Swaminathan, Ashwin	Personal Protective Equipment and Antiviral Drug Use during Hospitalization for Suspected Avian or Pandemic Influenza(1)	2007-10-17		.txt	text/plain	3367	175	48	This study aimed to estimate the resource needs that a hospital might face in the fi rst few hours of management of a single patient who sought treatment with possible avian or pandemic infl uenza (API) or similar highly virulent respiratory infection. The study outcome measures were the following: 1) number of close contacts associated with the API patient during the initial 6 hours of patient management, including how many of these were HCW close contacts; 2) the total number of exposures experienced by close contacts; 3) overall quantity and type of PPE items (gowns, gloves, N95 masks, eyewear) actually used during the simulation by HCW close contacts and ancillary HCWs; 4) overall "opportunities for PPE item use" for HCW close contacts and ancillary HCWs (i.e., actual use plus missed opportunities for appropriate PPE use); and 5) stratifi cation of HCW close contacts into medium-or low-risk groups for the purpose of recommending antiviral postexposure prophylaxis.	./cache/cord-335638-p84nmtfp.txt	./txt/cord-335638-p84nmtfp.txt
