Abstract

La pandemia por COVID 19 representa un desafío para la atención médica mundial, ya que aún no se disponen de estudios suficientes sobre el tema. Teniendo en cuenta que la especialidad de otorrinolaringología es una de las que se encuentra en mayor riesgo de exposición, es indispensable establecer lineamientos para su práctica segura.  El uso de equipos de protección personal (EPP) se deberá hacer de acuerdo a tipo de personal y la actividad a desarrollar. Así mismo la infraestructura de los consultorios y áreas de procedimientos deberá contar con las adaptaciones necesarias para mantener el distanciamiento social. Los métodos para la desinfección de superficies, instrumentos y equipos se deberá realizar con las sustancias recomendadas de acuerdo al material y características de cada una de ellas. La práctica segura y eficiente permitirá la reactivación de los servicios de atención.
