MONARES-ZEPEDA, Enrique et al. Cardiopulmonary resuscitation in patients with COVID-19 in the hospital environment. Rev. mex. anestesiol. [online]. 2020, vol.43, n.2, pp.145-150.  Epub 04-Out-2021. ISSN 0484-7903.  https://doi.org/10.35366/92874.

The COVID-19 pandemic has forced us to rethink the way we practice some aspects of medicine. Cardiopulmonary resuscitation is a practice that generates aerosol particles from the airway, which increases the risk of SARS-CoV-2 infection. In this review, the international recommendations on the subject are consulted, high-risk moments are defined and recommendations are established on compressions, ventilation, electrical therapy and even pharmacology in patients with cardiac arrest and with a diagnosis of COVID-19, seeking not only the well-being of the patient, but also the safety of health personnel.

Palavras-chave : COVID-19; cardiac arrest; cardiopulmonary resuscitation; prone; defibrillation; ventilation; prolonged QT; personal protective equipment; arrhythmias.
