I have been resisting opening this can of worms...but here goes...
The CDC guidelines for SARS air medical transport refer to HEPA filters for
suction units. Despite my efforts and those of our most excellent
equipment dude, Pete Limbacher, we have not found that such a thing
exists. I am hoping that one of the list's AMPA members, who helped write
the guidelines, can enlighten us. (Editorial comment: why would that
be particularly important, given that we will have to wear N-95's anyway.
And, if it is so important, why isn't part of guidelines for TB patient
procedures?)
Thanks, Nan
