L'évaluation de la satisfaction des patientes est une composante essentielle de l'amélioration de la qualité des services en anesthésie. Notre objectif était de déterminer les bénéfices/risques de la Lidocaïne par rapport à la gestion de la douleur post-césarienne et son coût dans le but d'améliorer la prise en charge des patientes douloureuses. Méthodes : Nous avons procédé à une d'une étude prospective comparative randomisée sur une période de dix mois au sein du Centre Hospitalier Universitaire Gynécologie Obstétrique de Befelatanana. La population d'étude a concerné les femmes opérées pour césarienne sous rachianesthésie. Nous avons évalué la douleur avec la règle EVA (0 à 100 mm) à H1, H2, H3, H4, H8, H12 postopératoire. Résultats : Nous avons inclus 40 patientes pour le groupe A avec Lidocaïne, et 40 patientes pour le groupe B sans Lidocaïne. L'intensité moyenne de la douleur à H12 postopératoire, est de 17,6 ± 11,5 mm pour le groupe A et 29,1 ± 7,4 mm pour le groupe B, avec une différence statistique significative entre les deux groupes (p = 0,008). Conclusion : L'infiltration pariétale de Lidocaïne en peropératoire, pour la prise en charge de la douleur post-césarienne, est bénéfique, comparée au traitement standard seul

Objetivo: Evaluar la percepción de las madres que tuvieron su parto durante la pandemia COVID en relación a la obligación de no recibir visitas en su puerperio, y cuantificar la frecuencia de prematuridad que otros centros del mundo mostraron que se redujo durante la pandemia. Método: Estudio observacional retrospectivo con encuestas realizadas entre el 1 de septiembre y el 31 diciembre 2020, y análisis de estadísticas locales de la Unidad de Maternidad y Neonatología. Resultados: Sobre el 90% de las madres que contestaron la encuesta afirmó haber descansado mejor y preferir un retorno a las visitas con horarios reducidos. La frecuencia de prematuridad se redujo significativamente en nuestra institución (8,08% entre 2014 y 2019 vs. 1,6% en 2020). Conclusiones: La mayoría de las puérperas prefiere un horario reducido para visitas en el posparto. Este hallazgo y la caída en la frecuencia de prematuridad obligan a reflexionar sobre nuestro cuidado prenatal actual.
Objective: To evaluate the perception of mothers who gave birth during the COVID pandemic in relation to the obligation not to receive visits during the puerperium, and to quantify the frequency of prematurity that other centers in the world showed decreased during the pandemic. Method: Retrospective observational study with surveys conducted between September 1st and December 31, 2020, and analysis of local statistics from the Maternity and Neonatal Unit. Results: Over 90% of the mothers who answered the survey stated that they had rested better and preferred a return to visits with reduced hours. The frequency of prematurity was signficantly reduced in our institution ((8.08% between 2014 and 2019 vs 1.6% in 2020). Conclusions: Most postpartum women prefer a reduced schedule for pospartum visits. This finding and the drop in the frequency of prematurity force us to reflect on our current prenatal care.

Resumen Objetivo: La pandemia de SARS-CoV-2 ha obligado a una reorganización de las visitas presenciales, y por ese motivo se han minimizado hasta el punto de reconsiderar la realización de la visita del tercer trimestre. Nuestro centro suprimió dicha visita obstétrica y obtuvo datos propios para comparar los resultados perinatales logrados con dicho manejo. Método: Se realizó un estudio de cohortes retrospectivo, en marzo de 2020, con una cohorte con visita presencial única en la semana 40 de gestación (122 gestantes) frente a una cohorte con seguimiento convencional con visita presencial en la semana 36 de gestación (162 gestantes). Se evaluaron la restricción del crecimiento fetal, la edad gestacional al nacimiento, el peso neonatal y las tasas de inducciones, partos eutócicos y cesáreas urgentes en trabajo de parto. Resultados: Se encontraron diferencias leves en la tasa de nuliparidad (p < 0,04), sin hallarlas en el resto de las variables maternas. No hubo diferencias entre las dos cohortes en los resultados neonatales. Conclusiones: No hay diferencias entre los resultados materno-fetales obtenidos en gestantes con seguimiento gestacional con restricción de la visita del tercer trimestre respecto del seguimiento tradicional, excepto en el diagnóstico de las alteraciones de la estática fetal al término de la gestación.
Abstract Objective: The SARS-CoV-2 pandemic has forced a reorganization of face-to-face visits, for this reason they have been minimized to the point of reconsidering the completion of the third trimester visit. Our center eliminated the performance of this obstetric visit and obtained its own data to compare the perinatal results obtained with such management. Method: A retrospective cohort study was carried out in March 2020, with a cohort with a single face-to-face visit at 40th week of gestation (122 pregnant women), versus a cohort with conventional follow-up with face-to-face visit at 36th week of gestation (162 pregnant women). The following were evaluated fetal growth restriction, gestational age at birth, neonatal weight, rate of inductions, of eutocic deliveries, and of urgent cesarean sections in labor. Results: Slight differences were found in the nulliparity rate (p < 0.04), without finding them in the rest of the maternal variables. There were no differences between the two cohorts in neonatal outcomes. Conclusions: There were no differences between the maternal-fetal results obtained in pregnant women with gestational follow-up with restriction of the third trimester visit compared to traditional follow-up, except in the diagnosis of alterations in fetal statics at the end of pregnancy.

ntroduction: The acceptability and willingness to undergo Transvaginal Sonography by the patients havegeneratedmixedreactionsindifferenthealthcare settings. There is little that is known aboutZimbabweanwomen'sperceptionsandwillingness to undergo Transvaginal Sonography and there are no specific guidelines to guide its use. Aim:To evaluate the perception and willingness to undergo Transvaginal Sonography among women attending Obstetrics and Gynaecology clinic at SallyMugabeCentralHospitalinHarare, Zimbabwe.Methods:Across-sectionalsurveyusingastructured questionnaire was conducted between 1 and 30 June 2022. Atotal of 170 women attending the obstetrics and gynaecology clinic at Sally MugabeCentralHospitalwereselectedbyconsecutive sampling to participate in the study.Results:The majority of women (81.76%) had no previous TVS experience, with an equally large proportion (60.84%) not having seen a TVS probe before. Most of the women would prefer female sonographers (85.37%) to conduct the examination. In addition, about 58% of the participants concurred that a chaperone should be present. Less than half of the females (47.93%) were eager to have a TVS done on them. Equally, just 45% of the females said they would encourage others to have a TVS scan. The difference in willingness to undergo a TVS study stratified by employment status was statistically significant (chi-square 7.26, p = 0.03). Conclusion: Our study findings revealed that a large proportion of females had no previous TVS experience, with an equally large proportion not having seen a TVS probe before. Only a sizeable proportion of women were willing to accept TVS provided it is conducted by female sonographers and or in the presence of a chaperone. The findings underscoretheimportanceofeducationandawareness of the benefits of TVS in terms of diagnosis on maternal health outcomes, in the Zimbabwean population.

INTRODUCCIÓN: La pandemia de COVID-19 ha comportado una disminución de la consulta ginecológica al servicio de urgencia. OBJETIVO: Caracterizar las consultas en el servicio de urgencia ginecológica, evaluando la cantidad de hospitalizaciones, la necesidad de intervención quirúrgica y los factores de morbilidad, entre otros, comparado a la situación con la previa a la pandemia. MÉTODO: Se realizó un estudio de cohorte no concurrente de pacientes hospitalizadas tras una consulta espontánea al servicio de urgencia ginecológica entre las semanas 12 y 28 de 2019 y 2020 en el Hospital Clínico de la Pontificia Universidad Católica, en Santiago (Chile). Se determinaron distintos factores de morbilidad: diagnóstico de ingreso, intervención quirúrgica, complicación operatoria, días de hospitalización, hemoglobina/hematocrito de ingreso y necesidad de transfusión de unidades sanguíneas. RESULTADOS: Hubo 511 consultas al servicio de urgencia entre las semanas 12 y 28 del año 2019, en comparación con 196 el año 2020. En 2019 fueron hospitalizadas 103 mujeres, y en 2020 ingresaron 72 (odds ratio [OR]: 2.3). Disminuyó el ingreso por aborto retenido (24 vs. 12; p = 0.01), mientras que aumentó el ingreso por metrorragia posmenopáusica (9 vs 22; p = 0.01). No hubo cambio en las intervenciones quirúrgicas realizadas (86.4% vs. 84.7%; p = 0.7). Aumentaron los días de hospitalización (2.3 vs. 3.1; p < 0.0001) y la necesidad de transfusión sanguínea (2 vs. 7; p = 0.02; OR: 5.4; intervalo de confianza: 1.09-26). CONCLUSIONES: La pandemia de COVID-19 provocó una disminución en la consulta espontánea por patología ginecológica al servicio de urgencia, provocando un aumento en la relación consulta/ingreso y una mayor morbilidad en las pacientes hospitalizadas, caracterizada por una mayor necesidad de transfusión sanguínea y un aumento de los días de hospitalización.
INTRODUCTION: The COVID-19 pandemic has meant a decrease in gynecological visits to the emergency department. OBJECTIVE: To characterize the attending in the gynecological emergency service, evaluating the amount of admissions, hospitalizations, need for surgical intervention, morbidity factors, among others, compared to the pre-pandemic situation. METHOD: A non-concurrent cohort study of hospitalized patients was carried out through a spontaneous attending to the gynecological emergency service between weeks 12 and 28 of 2019 and 2020 at the Hospital Clínico of the Pontificia Universidad Católica, in Santiago (Chile). Different morbidity factors were measured: admission diagnosis, surgical intervention, surgical complication, hospital stay, admission hemoglobin, and need for transfusion of blood units. RESULTS: A total of 511 visitors to the emergency service were registered between weeks 12 and 28 of 2019, compared to 196 in 2020. In 2019 and 2020, 103 and 72 women were hospitalized respectively (odds ratio [OR]: 2.3). Admission for pregnancy loss decreased (24 vs. 12; p = 0.01), while admission for postmenopausal bleeding increased (9 vs. 22; p = 0.01). There was no change in the surgical interventions performed (86.4% vs. 84.7%; p = 0.7). The hospital stays increased (2.3 vs. 3.1; p < 0.0001) and the need for blood transfusion (2 vs. 7; p = 0.02; OR: 5.4; confidence interval: 1.09-26). CONCLUSIONS: The COVID-19 pandemic caused a decrease in spontaneous attending for gynecological pathology at the emergency service, causing an increase in the attend/admission ratio and greater morbidity in hospitalized patients characterized by a greater need for blood transfusion and an increase on the hospital stay.

INTRODUCCIÓN: La red de atención de urgencia es fundamental en la salud de cualquier país. En Chile, los servicios de urgencia periódicamente están saturados por usuarios con patologías de carácter leve; lo mismo ocurre en las atenciones de urgencias gineco-obstétricas (UGO) en los centros de mediana y alta complejidad. OBJETIVO: Describir la categorización de las consultas de urgencias gineco-obstétricas en un hospital público de Chile, atendidas durante el año 2018. METODOLOGÍA: Estudio descriptivo y transversal que abarcó 3.077 consultas obtenidas de datos estadísticos anonimizados. RESULTADOS: De las UGO, el 58,3% fueron consultas obstétricas, el 36,9% ginecológicas y 4.8% neonatológicas; el 96% fueron consultantes mujeres; el 80,3% eran adultos y el 11,6% adolescentes; el 92,5% eran usuarios pertenecientes a la comuna de Penco; el mes más consultado fue mayo con 292 atenciones y el 71,5% de las consultas fueron atendidas en horario diurno. Los principales motivos de consulta obstétrica y ginecológica fueron el dolor y el sangramiento genital; en las urgencias neonatológicas, la ictericia fue el principal motivo de consulta. El diagnóstico más frecuente en las consultas obstétricas según clasificación CIE _10 fue la supervisión de embarazo normal, en las ginecológicas fue el dolor abdomino-pélvico y en las consultas neonatológicas, la ictericia; del total de consultas UGO un 91,1% fueron resueltas a nivel local. El 0,1% de las UGO fueron categorizadas como c1 y el 0,3% como c2, siendo la gran mayoría, consultas de baja complejidad. CONCLUSIONES: Existe un gran porcentaje de consultas de baja complejidad que sobrecargan el servicio de urgencia, afectando la calidad de la atención del hospital.
INTRODUCTION: the urgent care network is fundamental in the health of any country. In Chile, the emergency services are periodically saturated with users with mild pathologies; the same occurs in gynecological-obstetric emergency care (UGO) in more complex centers. OBJECTIVE: to describe the categorization of gynecological-obstetric emergency consultations in a public hospital in Chile, attended in 2018. METHODOLOGY: descriptive and cross-sectional study; covered 3,077 queries of anonymized statistical data. RESULTS: of the UGO, 58.3% were obstetric consultations, 36.9% gynecological and 4.8% neonatological; 96% were women; 80.3% were adults and 11.6% adolescents; 92.5% were from Penco; the month most consulted was may with 292 visits and 71.5% of the consultations were during daytime hours. The main reasons for obstetric and gynecological consultation were pain and genital bleeding; in neonatal emergencies, jaundice was the main reason for consultation. The most repeated diagnosis in obstetric consultations was the supervision of normal pregnancy; in gynecological cases, it was abdominal-pelvic pain and in neonatological consultations, jaundice; there was 91.1% local resolution. 0.1% of the UGO were categorized as c1 and 0.3% as c2, the vast majority being low complexity queries.

Introdução: Potenciais riscos aos pacientes são intrínsecos à assistência à saúde, sendo que na maternidade, a ocorrência de eventos adversos pode repercutir em danos a mulher e ao recémnascido (RN). Diante disso, políticas públicas estabelecem ações de melhoria da assistência por meio da corresponsabilização e participação ativa dos pacientes e acompanhantes no cuidado e na prevenção de incidentes. Nesse contexto, a literatura sugere o desenvolvimento de tecnologias educativas (TE) para aperfeiçoar a comunicação, aumentar a capacidade de escuta e engajar o paciente e família na segurança do paciente (SP). Entretanto, as evidências sobre o desenvolvimento e utilização de TE em busca do maior envolvimento do acompanhante e do paciente na SP na maternidade, especialmente com a participação desses atores são insuficientes. Objetivos de pesquisa: Conhecer as percepções e as experiências de pacientes, acompanhantes e profissionais de saúde da maternidade sobre a participação da paciente e do acompanhante na segurança da paciente e do RN. Objetivo de prática: Elaborar e avaliar uma tecnologia educativa para promoção do envolvimento das pacientes internadas na maternidade e seus acompanhantes nas ações do cuidado seguro. Método: O estudo seguiu os preceitos metodológicos da Pesquisa Convergente-Assistencial e sustentou-se nos fundamentos teóricos de Paulo Freire. Foi realizado na maternidade de um hospital público de Belo Horizonte e a produção de dados foi dividida em três etapas. A primeira etapa subsidiou a construção da cartilha através de entrevistas para conhecer as percepções e o conhecimento dos participantes sobre a SP e a participação da paciente e do acompanhante na segurança; e identificar as barreiras que dificultam colocar em prática as ações de SP. Participaram dessa etapa 13 profissionais de saúde, 11 pacientes e 06 acompanhantes. Na segunda foi desenvolvida a TE em forma de cartilha e na terceira, a mesma foi avaliada pelos participantes. Na última etapa aceitaram continuar participando da pesquisa os 13 profissionais da saúde, 08 pacientes e 05 acompanhantes. A coleta de dados ocorreu por meio de entrevista semiestruturada e registro de diário de campo. A análise dos dados foi realizada pela análise de conteúdo e foram criadas duas categorias provenientes da primeira etapa: Saberes e experiências sobre a segurança da paciente e do RN na maternidade e Desafios para o envolvimento da paciente e acompanhante nas ações de segurança. Resultados: Na primeira categoria os achados evidenciaram que as pacientes e os acompanhantes esboçaram diferentes entendimentos sobre a SP, sendo que a maioria apresentava compreensão limitada sobre o tema e desconhecia como poderiam contribuir para SP. Os profissionais enfatizaram que as pacientes e os acompanhantes se envolvem pouco na SP e poderiam ser mais informados e estimulados pela própria equipe. A segunda categoria apontou as fragilidades para a participação da paciente e acompanhante nas ações de segurança, como a falta de conhecimento, diálogo e escuta, e a posição autoritária de alguns profissionais. Os achados da primeira etapa contribuíram para a construção da TE, no formato de cartilha. Na terceira etapa, os participantes avaliaram a TE como sendo um material importante para impulsionar a participação das pacientes e acompanhantes na SP. Conclusão: O processo interativo e dialogado com os participantes possibilitou a criação da TE como ferramenta importante no envolvimento das pacientes e acompanhantes nas ações de SP. Essa experiência vai ao encontro do pensamento de Paulo Freire que afirma que, o educador deve reconhecer o educando têm saberes, experiências e leituras de mundo próprias, sendo o respeito essencial para influenciar no desenvolvimento de novos saberes.
Potential risks to patients are intrinsic to health care, and in maternity hospitals, the occurrence of adverse events can affect women and newborns (NB). Therefore, public policies establish actions to improve care through co-responsibility and active participation of patients and caregivers in the care and prevention of incidents. In this context, the literature suggests the development of educational technologies (ET) to improve communication, increase listening skills and engage the patient and family in patient safety (PS). However, the evidence on the development and use of ET in search of greater involvement of the companion and the patient in PS in the maternity hospital, especially with the participation of these actors, is insufficient. Research objectives: Know the perceptions and experiences of patients, companions and health professionals in the maternity ward about the participation of the patient and companion in the safety of the patient and the NB. Practice objective Develop and evaluate an educational technology to promote the involvement of patients admitted to the maternity ward and their companions in safe care actions. Method: The study followed the methodological precepts of the Convergent Care Research and was supported by Paulo Freire's theoretical foundations. It was carried out in the maternity of a public hospital in Belo Horizonte and data production was divided into three stages. The first stage supported the construction of the booklet through interviews to learn about the participants' perceptions and knowledge about PS and the patient's and companion's participation in safety; and identify the barriers that make it difficult to put PS actions into practice. Thirteen health professionals, 11 patients and 06 caregivers participated in this stage. In the second, the ET was developed in the form of a booklet and in the third, it was evaluated by the participants. In the last stage, the 13 health professionals, 08 patients and 05 companions agreed to continue participating in the research. Data collection took place through semi-structured interviews and field diary records. Data analysis was performed using content analysis and two categories were created from the first stage: Knowledge and experiences about patient and newborn safety in the maternity ward and Challenges for the involvement of the patient and companion in safety actions. Results: In the first category, the findings showed that patients and caregivers outlined different understandings about PS, and most of them had limited understanding of the topic and did not know how they could contribute to PS. Professionals emphasized that patients and companions are little involved in PS and could be more informed and encouraged by the team itself. The second category pointed out the weaknesses for the participation of the patient and companion in safety actions, such as the lack of knowledge, dialogue and listening, and the authoritarian position of some professionals. The findings of the first stage contributed to the construction of the ET, in the form of a booklet. In the third stage, participants assessed ET as being an important material to boost the participation of patients and caregivers in the PS. Conclusion: The interactive process and dialogue with the participants enabled the creation of ET as an important tool in the involvement of patients and caregivers in PS actions. This experience is in line with the thought of Paulo Freire who states that the educator must recognize that the student has their own knowledge, experiences and readings of the world, with respect being essential to influence the development of new knowledge.

INTRODUCCIÓN Y OBJETIVOS: El Síndrome Respiratorio Agudo Grave Coronavirus 2 (SARSCoV-2) es una enfermedad altamente contagiosa y que puede ser transmitida por pacientes asintomáticos. Por esto surge el interés de poder determinar la prevalencia de la infección por SARS-Cov-2 en pacientes embarazadas que ingresan para interrupción de la gestación. MÉTODOS: Se realizó un análisis descriptivo, retrospectivo en el Servicio de Obstetricia y Ginecología de Hospital de Carabineros de Chile entre el 15 de mayo y el 30 junio del 2020. Se incluyeron todas las mujeres embarazadas que ingresaron para interrupción de la gestación, a las que se les realizó el examen PCR SARS-CoV-2; y una encuesta de signos y síntomas sugerentes de la enfermedad. RESULTADOS: Se realizaron 73 interrupciones de la gestación, con toma de PCR a 72 mujeres; de estas pacientes 65 (90.3%) fueron negativas, 5 (6.9%) positivas y 2 (2.8%) indeterminadas; los resultados indeterminados fueron considerados como positivos, por lo que la prevalencia de positividad fue de 9,5%. De estas pacientes, sólo 1 de ellas tenía síntomas sugerentes de la enfermedad, todas las demás (6) eran pacientes asintomáticas, y se mantuvieron así durante toda la hospitalización. CONCLUSIÓN: La realización del examen PCR para SARS-CoV-2 a todas las embarazadas que ingresan a un servicio de Ginecología y Obstetricia ayuda a identificar a las pacientes asintomáticas contagiadas con el virus. Ya que la consulta por presencia de signos y síntomas no permite identificar los casos positivos, es necesario considerar la realización de este examen en los protocolos de ingreso hospitalario a lo largo de nuestro país.
INTRODUCTION AND OBJECTIVES: Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus (SARSCoV-2) is a highly contagious disease that can be transmitted by asymptomatic patients. Therefore, is of interest to determine the prevalence of SARS-Cov-2 infection in pregnant patients entering for interruption. METHODS: A descriptive, retrospective analysis was performed in the Obstetrics and Gynecology Service of the Hospital de Carabineros de Chile between May 15 and June 30, 2020. Pregnant women who entered for interruption of their pregnancy and who were given the SARS-CoV-2 PCR exam were included. A survey of signs and symptoms suggestive of the disease was applied. RESULTS: There were 73 pregnancy interruptions, 72 of them were tested by SARS-CoV-2 PCR exam. Among these patients, 65 (90.3%) resulted negative, 5 (6.9%), were positive and 2 (2.8%) were indeterminate; indeterminate results were considered positive, so the prevalence of positivity was 9.5%. Of these patients only 1 had symptoms suggestive of the disease, all the others (6) were asymptomatic, and remained so throughout the hospitalization. CONCLUSION: Conducting the PCR test for SARS-CoV-2 for all pregnant women entering a Gynecology and Obstetrics service helps to identify asymptomatic patients infected with the virus. As a survey of signs and symptoms cannot identify positive patiens, it is necessary to consider conducting universal screeing in hospital admission protocols throughout our country.

INTRODUCCIÓN: La infección por el coronavirus SARS-CoV2 (COVID 19), causal de la pandemia actual, ha significado a nivel mundial la hospitalización simultánea de múltiples pacientes poniendo a prueba la infraestructura hospitalaria y la capacidad de reacción del personal de salud. Una de las estrategias para el manejo es la reconversión de camas y servicios clínicos. OBJETIVOS: presentar experiencia de un equipo ginecológico en el manejo integral de pacientes no gineco-obstétricas con COVID 19, durante el mes de junio de 2020 en un hospital público de la Región Metropolitana. MÉTODOS: Estudio de corte transversal observacional, descriptivo. Se consideró el total de pacientes adultos hombres y mujeres sin patología gineco-obstétrica con COVID 19 ingresados al puerperio del Hospital Santiago Oriente, obteniéndose datos clínicos y demográficos a través del registro interno de la unidad y del sistema de información de red asistencial. RESULTADOS: Ingresaron 82 pacientes, 32 mujeres y 50 hombres, promedio de edad 64. El promedio de días de hospitalización fue 5, con diagnóstico de ingreso principal neumonía viral por COVID-19. Las comorbilidades frecuentes fueron hipertensión arterial sistémica y diabetes mellitus. La complicación más frecuente fue el tromboembolismo pulmonar agudo. Hubo una alta cobertura de entrega de información vía telefónica a familiares. De los 82 ingresos, 54 pacientes egresaron a su domicilio. El resto a otras unidades dentro de la institución, centros de menor complejidad o residencias sanitarias. Una paciente sexo femenino de 75 años fallece a causa de descompensación de patologias de base secundario a neumonia por Staphylococus aereus. En ella, se descarta la infección por COVID 19 dado tres exámenes por reacción de polimerasa en cadena negativos realizado antes y durante su hospitalización. CONCLUSIONES: Esta experiencia constituyó un desafío para todo el equipo de salud gineco-obstétrico, considerando que nos enfrentamos a otro tipo de pacientes y a una patología nueva. Los resultados médicos son promisorios, la experiencia humana y sentido de trabajo en equipo fue extraordinario.
INTRODUCTION: The infection by the SARS-CoV2 coronavirus (COVID 19), the cause of the current pandemic we are experiencing, has meant the simultaneous hospitalization of many patients worldwide, putting the hospital infrastructure and the reaction capacity of health personnel to the test. One of the management strategies is the reconversion of clinical services. OBJECTIVES: present the experience of a gynecological team in the comprehensive management of non-gyneco-obstetric patients with COVID 19, during the month of June 2020 in a public hospital in the Metropolitan Region. METHODS: descriptive, observational cross-sectional study. The total number of patients admitted to the ex-puerperium of the Santiago Oriente Hospital was considered, obtaining clinical and demographic data through the unit's internal registry and the healthcare network information system. RESULTS: 82 patients were admitted, 32 women and 50 men, average age 64. The average number of days of hospitalization was 5, with the main admission diagnosis being viral pneumonia due to COVID-19. Frequent comorbidities were systemic arterial hypertension and diabetes mellitus. The most frequent complication was acute pulmonary thromboembolism. There was a high coverage of the delivery of information via telephone to relatives. Of the 82 admissions, 54 patients were discharged home and the rest to other units within the institution, less complex centers or health residences. One 75 years old female patient dies from concomitant pathologies, and she wasn't positive for COVID-19. CONCLUSIONS: This experience was a challenge for the entire gynecological-obstetric health team, considering that we are facing other types of patients and a new pathology. The medical results are promising, the human experience and sense of teamwork was extraordinary.

La pandemia por COVID-19 ha generado un estancamiento mundial en la atención y resolución de todas las patologías graves y crónicas, debido al colapso de los sistemas de salud, a la dificultad de consulta, dada por la disminución de movilidad de las personas, por las cuarentenas establecidas y también por el temor de los pacientes al contagio en los centros de salud. Los enfermos oncológicos han visto canceladas sus atenciones, suspendidos o postergado sus tratamientos y diferidas sus cirugías. Esto no ha sido ajeno a las pacientes con cáncer de mama. En el presente trabajo, se reporta la experiencia de una Unidad de Patología Mamaria de un hospital público de Santiago de Chile y de las acciones realizadas para mantener la continuidad de atención en una comuna con una alta tasa de infección por SARS-CoV-2.
The COVID-19 pandemic has generated a global stagnation in the care and medical treatment of serious and chronic illnesses due to the collapse of the health systems, the difficulty of consulting due to decreased mobility caused by forced quarantines and also because of the fear of infection when attending a health center. Cancer patients have had their medical appointments canceled, their treatments suspended or postponed, and their surgeries delayed. Breast cancer patients have not been the exception. We report the experience of a Breast Pathology Unit of a public hospital in Santiago of Chile, and the actions carried out to maintain continuity of care in a community with a high infection rate of SARS-CoV-2.
