Size of EMG room to safely do more than one patient at a time
Hi,
I was wondering if anybody has any thoughts about whether
TWO patients can have EMG's done at the SAME time in a very
large room (designed for THREE patients
in three separate cubicles) and where
the TWO patients are on the opposite ends of the room
(in the far cubicles) and are about 20 feet apart.
Assuming all other COVID parameters are followed, such as
face masks and face shields, etc. what anyone's thought is
about whether it's okay to do the two EMGs at the same time.
Thank you,

I enjoy participating in the AANEM Connect Forum for a number of reasons. There are very fundamental questions posed on a frequent basis that cause me to pause and ask myself, ‘Why didn’t I think of that?’ Also, I continue to learn new things when others contribute their thoughts and experiences. Connect is an excellent opportunity for members to interact and to address any topic, including those that may not be discussed at an annual meeting or journal article.
