Background
Depending on incident location casualties will begin to arrive at hospitals within 30 minutes of impact. Most casualties arrive at the hospital within 1 to 1.5 hours of the first patient.
Masks are the conventional respiratory protection system used by ED staff. They rely on the lungs drawing air through the filter, negative pressure, thus extremely fatiguing. The close fitting mask also reduces communication. Their use requires constant practice. Additionally facial hair and glasses prevent the correct sealing of respiratory masks to the face.

Background
Hospitals are critical infrastructure and must be protected from contamination in order the maintain the capacity to treat patients and to protect staff.
Patients delivered to a hospital by ST John Ambulance (SJA) from the site of a CBR incident will have been decontaminated at the incident site. Those that self present will include contaminated and the worried well.

Background
Self presenters cannot be permitted to enter a hospital until they have been decontaminated. Hospitals must have the capacity to safely decontaminate all self presenters.
The protective dress to be worn by Hospital staff conducting decontamination of self presented is the LED 500 CBR.

Objective
To safely operate the supplied CBR suit
![Page 6: CBR Suit Training Disaster Preparedness and Management Unit](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062417/5519c0135503467a578b4b3b/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
Before you get started
Change into scrubs Drink some water Know your designated role in the
decontamination team Go to the toilet Have your vital signs taken by the Safety Officer
![Page 7: CBR Suit Training Disaster Preparedness and Management Unit](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062417/5519c0135503467a578b4b3b/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Hazards of operating in CBR suit
Reduced sensory input Work performance impacts Physical effects on operator Communication Psychological factors
![Page 8: CBR Suit Training Disaster Preparedness and Management Unit](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062417/5519c0135503467a578b4b3b/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Reduced sensory input
Touch Reduced sensitivity Reduced manual dexterity
Mobility Impaired balance, reaction time and agility
![Page 9: CBR Suit Training Disaster Preparedness and Management Unit](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062417/5519c0135503467a578b4b3b/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Physical effects to operator
Body temperature and heart rate may increase Endurance times are reduced Warning signs will include
Changes in gait (staggering) Changes in speech (slurring) Changes in behaviour (erratic)
Many of these are difficult to monitor in CBR suit – this makes observation by ‘buddy’, communications and use of a safety officer essential.
