Personal Protective Equipment

2.4K
Personal protective equipment (PPE) is unique clothing or equipment worn by an employee to minimize or prevent exposure to infectious agents. PPE creates a barrier between the employee and the infectious materials. PPE must be readily available in the patient care area. PPE includes gloves, gowns and aprons, masks and respirators, goggles, face shields, shoes, and headcovers:

Donning PPE must be completed before contact with the patient. This process protects from infectious agents. The sequence and action included in each donning are critical, and the steps must be systematic to avoid exposure to pathogens. The institutional policy also needs to be followed while donning PPE. The pre-donning preparations are gathering equipment, inspecting the PPE equipment for tears, holes, or damage, removing jewelry, removing any garments below the elbows, and tying the hair...

Accessory Structures of the Eye

4.1K
Optical perception, or vision, is an extraordinary sense dependent on converting light signals received via the ocular organs. These organs, known as eyes, are securely positioned within the bony cavities of the skull, called orbits. The orbits serve a dual purpose: a protective shield for the ocular globes and a stable attachment point for the soft ocular tissues. The eye's external protective mechanisms include the eyelids, which are edged with lashes that act as a barrier against foreign...

PPE Use in Healthcare Settings II: Doffing

1.7K
The sequence of removing or doffing PPE starts with the gloves, as they are the most contaminated. Next is removal of the face shield or goggles, as they would interfere with removing other PPE. Then remove the gown, followed by the mask or respirator. Perform hand hygiene between steps if hands become contaminated and immediately after removing all PPE. Generally, the outside front and sleeves of the isolation gown, the goggles or the mask, the respirator, and the face shield are contaminated.

Summary

Protective eyewear use is low among professional pickleball players and less than half of amateurs, with many using inadequate regular glasses. Increased use of high-quality protective eyewear is recommended due to rising pickleball eye injuries.

Area of Science:

  • Sports Medicine
  • Ophthalmology
  • Public Health

Background:

  • Pickleball's growing popularity has led to an increase in related eye injuries.
  • Protective eyewear usage among pickleball players, both professional and amateur, is not well understood.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate trends in protective eyewear use among professional and amateur pickleball players.
  • To identify player attitudes towards protective eyewear and the motivations for its use or non-use.

Main Methods:

  • A survey was administered to professional players at the Zimmer Biomet Masters tournament and amateur players in Connecticut.
  • Data collection occurred between May and September 2025.
  • The survey assessed reported eyewear use, attitudes, motivations, and demographic characteristics.

Main Results:

  • Only 20% of professional players and 45.27% of amateur players reported using protective eyewear.
  • Among amateurs using eyewear, 61.19% used regular prescription glasses, not dedicated protective gear.
  • Reasons for non-use included discomfort and lack of awareness of injury risks.

Conclusions:

  • Reported protective eyewear use is notably low in professional pickleball and suboptimal among amateurs.
  • The frequent use of non-specialized eyewear raises concerns about adequate eye protection.
  • Enhanced strategies are needed to promote consistent use of appropriate protective eyewear in pickleball.
