There seems to be a LOT of controversy around the surgical mask and just how it is to be worn and when to use an N95 mask. Nurses, healthcare providers, patient's and family/visitors all need to know how to wear the surgical mask while in the hospital correctly to ensure they are protecting both themselves and others around them.

I put the surgical mask and the N95 mask in a head to head battle to help you understand what mask is your best fit.

Make no mistake. There is a right way and many many wrong ways! I have seen a lot!

The surgical mask has a colored side, whether that is blue, yellow, pink - it is always to the outside. Blue has always been on the outside. If you are using a single ply mask you will not have two colors. Instead, your mask will be the same color on both sides. There is no filter in a single-ply mask.

Did you know a sneeze can travel up to 6 feet in the air?

Protect your patients with the proper donning and doffing of the surgical mask. This video is an extension of the "How to Put On a Surgical Mask" and the "How to Wear and N95: Donning and Doffing", and looks at them side by side for a comparison to help you make an informed decision.
