Efectividad de los protocolos de bioseguridad para covid – 19 en el servicio de atención materno perinatal: Una revisión sistemática

Abstract

Abstract

Pregnancy is a vulnerable stage for respiratory tract infections, being COVID-19 a disease that causes severe affections to thousands of people worldwide. That is why it is essential to provide a timely maternal and perinatal care system during pregnancy and postpartum, both for the mother and the newborn. A systemic review was carried out to determine the effectiveness of biosafety protocols and their application for COVID-19 in maternal and perinatal care. The PRISMA 2020 methodology was used, and the following databases: PubMed, Elsevier, SciELO, Redalyc, Mediagraphyc, and WHO, among others, to search information. Some eligibility criteria, such as the year of publication, language, results, keywords, and publication type, were identified. Articles that refer to COVID-19 biosafety protocols and pregnancy were considered. The articles which do not relate to pregnancy and the repeated ones were excluded from the research. In conclusion, most mothers have a mild COVID-19 infection which represents a lower rate of morbidity cases, being the neonates the most affected ones since a high percentage of them have been born prematurely. It is recommended to be severer with the application of biosecurity protocols during pregnancy, labor, and postpartum.
