Question:
When is it acceptable to take a patient directly from the hot zone without going through decontamination?
A
Never, no matter how sick the patient is they must be decontaminated
explanation
It is never acceptable to skip the decontamination; the risk of exposure of the EMS crew and other health care providers is too great to allow patients to by-pass decon. Most decon teams are capable of handling life threats as the patient is going through the decontamination process.
