Resumen

Introducción: La pandemia por SARS-CoV 2 ha tenido efectos en todo el mundo. Más de tres millones de casos y de 75,000 fallecimientos, han sido ocasionados por este virus con una alta tasa de transmisibilidad aérea, ausencia de vacuna y de un tratamiento específico. Una vez superada la fase aguda, se hace menester la atención de la morbilidad común, por lo que distintas estrategias deben ser usadas, para que el reinicio de la cirugía electiva sea de forma segura para el personal de salud. Revisaremos la literatura sobre el humo quirúrgico y el COVID-19, su transmisibilidad y las estrategias necesarias para reiniciar las cirugías electivas, sobre todo en urología.

Metodología: Se utilizan las bases de datos PUBMED, COCHRANE LIBRARY Y SCIELO, con los términos humo quirúrgico, humo, SARS‐CoV‐2, COVID-19, COVID, Coronavirus y aerosol.

Discusión: Se revisan el humo quirúrgico, sus características, los riesgos asociados, la generación y evacuación del humo y las distintas estrategias de mitigación sanitaria.

Conclusión: La pandemia por COVID-19 ha tenido impacto mundial. Centroamérica no ha escapado de los efectos de este coronavirus. El humo quirúrgico como medio de transmisión del virus COVID-19 no ha sido demostrado a la fecha. El desarrollo de estrategias de mitigación y reinicio de las actividades quirúrgicas en nuestra región depende de la disponibilidad de recursos económicos y de la resiliencia de los sistemas sanitarios.
