    Leanne62499 replied to edogs334's topic in MICU, SICU

  13. CDC Updates Infection Control Guidance for Swine Flu

    Leanne62499 replied to indigo girl's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Well...this guidance just gives hospitals more power to say no to the N95 mask...in fact I just had a patient this week, with confirmed H1N!, and I was told to use just a regular mask...I still got...
