ABSTRACT

En diciembre de 2019 se reporta un brote de infección respiratoria aguda de etiología desconocida, en la ciudad de Wuhan, China, cuya causa se atribuyó poco después a un nuevo virus denominado SARS-CoV-2. En marzo de 2020 la enfermedad causada por este virus: COVID-19, fue declarada pandemia por la OMS. Como consecuencia, se recomendó restringir las intervenciones quirúrgicas, limitándolas a aquellas urgentes y las que no debían diferirse por comprometer la salud del paciente. Organismos internacionales y sociedades científicas han emitido recomendaciones para la asistencia sanitaria y la actividad quirúrgica. Se requeriría adecuarlas al contexto social y geográfico donde se desarrollará la actividad de salud en Cuba. Atendiendo a estas circunstancias se elaboraron recomendaciones adaptadas a las condiciones propias de las instituciones hospitalarias de perfil pediátrico más comunes de nuestro país, con el objetivo de contribuir a organizar la asistencia médico quirúrgica de urgencia a pacientes pediátricos positivos o sospechosos de tener COVID-19, cumpliendo las condiciones de seguridad para el paciente y el personal sanitario a su cargo(AU)


In December 2019, it was reported the outbreak of an acute respiratory infection of unknown etiology, in the city of Wuhan, China, whose cause was shortly after attributed to a new virus called SARS-CoV-2. In March 2020 the disease caused by this virus, COVID-19, was declared a pandemic by the WHO. As a consequence, it was recommended to restrict surgical interventions, limiting them to those that are priorities and the ones that should not be deferred since can be compromised the health of the patient. International agencies and scientific societies have issued recommendations for the health care and surgical activities. It is needed to suit them to the social and geographical context where the health activity is developed in Cuba. This is the reason to conform recommendations adapted to the conditions of pediatric medical institutions in our country, with the aim of contributing to organize the emergency surgical care to pediatric patients positive or suspected of having COVID-19, while accomplishing the safety requirements for the patient and the health personnel in charge(AU)
