Maryland hospital system tells providers to save protective gear for coronavirus, avoid using it for MRSA patients
The Baltimore Sun: The University of Maryland Medical System has sent a memo telling medical providers to preserve their protective equipment for COVID-19 cases and not to use it in treating some patients with potentially dangerous infections such as MRSA.
The 13-hospital system isn’t alone in taking this or other such steps to ration protective gear, much of it directed or recommended by federal health authorities. But the memo nonetheless offers a look at how the shortage of personal protective equipment, known as PPE, is lacking in the Maryland hospitals, affecting policy and unsettling workers.
