When health professionals who participate in the treatment of patients with Covid-19 take effective preventive measures: complete protective clothing, high levels of infection control in the hospital, detection problems by PCR in the symptomatic personal and confinement of those infected: the transmission chain is interrupted and a higher rate of hospital infections can be avoided.

The significant rate of spread of SARS-CoV-2 before and after the symptomatic period raises the need to, in addition to isolating those infected, it is also necessary to implement social distancing measures.

In patients with severe forms of COVID-19: In patients requiring mechanical ventilation (MV), the use of corticosteroids would prevent death in approximately 1 out of every 8 treated cases. In patients treated with oxygen therapy but without MV, the use of corticosteroids would prevent death in approximately 1 in 25 treated cases. Limiting the use of low-dose corticosteroids for a period of 7-10 days does not appear to increase the rates of associated serious adverse events. In cases in which ...

Decontamination with liquid solutions based on chlorine, alcohol, or soaps is not recommended, as it has been shown to degrade static charge and alter the insulation and filtration properties of respiratory masks. The information analyzed is restricted to the evaluation of contamination in masks or materials similar to those used for their manufacture. There are no studies evaluating the spread of SARS-CoV-2 or other coronaviruses in health professionals who wear masks subjected to different ...

-Decontamination using UVGI, HPV and exposure to humid heat can destroy viruses without altering the structural and functional characteristics of N95 or filter respirator (FFR) masks, as long as the specifications reported for each method are followed. -Continuous reuse can progressively affect the structural stability or fit of the masks, allowing leaks. Since repeated decontamination reduces filtration capacity (<95%), it is recommended to reuse up to three times * after decontamination.
