  CDC Releases Two New Clinical Resources in the Fight Against Ebola – PPE Demonstration Video, Ebola Clinical Slide Set
To help inform U.S. healthcare workers in the fight against  Ebola, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has released two  new resources, which are now available at http://www.cdc.gov/vhf/ebola/hcp/index.html.

In partnership with Medscape, CDC has released a new video  titled Ebola: Donning and Doffing of Personal Protective  Equipment (PPE) that offers step-by-step demonstration on how to put  on and take off PPE properly in order to protect those providing care for  patients with suspected or confirmed Ebola virus disease. This video is  based on CDC Guidance on Personal Protective Equipment To Be  Used by Healthcare Workers During Management of Patients with Ebola Virus  Disease in U.S. Hospitals, Including Procedures for Putting On (Donning) and  Removing (Doffing), as of October 20, 2014.   It can be found at http://www.medscape.com/viewarticle/833907 and features CDC’s Dr. Arjun Srinivasan and Dr. Bryan Christensen.

Additionally, CDC has released a new Ebola clinical slide set for clinicians to  use for Grand Rounds and other clinical presentations.
