CARRILLO-ESPER, Raúl; GONZALEZ-MARTINEZ, Karen I.; ISLAS-AVILA, Roberto E. e JACINTO-FLORES, Sarahi A.. The burned patient in times of COVID-19: proposal derived from lessons learned. Cir. cir. [online]. 2022, vol.90, n.3, pp.419-426. Epub 06-Jun-2022. ISSN 2444-054X. https://doi.org/10.24875/ciru.21000645.
COVID-19 is a public health problem, so any burn patient who is managed as an outpatient or requires hospital management is a potential carrier of SARS-CoV-2. Burn patients are susceptible to COVID-19 due to the burn and its immunosuppressive effect, the procedures they undergo and other factors related to the burn, which makes them at high risk of contracting the disease and transmitting it, especially to the healthcare team involved in its management. Therefore, it is important to organize strategies in the services that care for burn patients during the COVID-19 pandemic. The objective of this paper is to present a proposal for response, organizational management and strategic planning in a burns service in times of COVID-19, based on the lessons and experience acquired.
