Abstract

Objective: to identify the conducts and personal protection equipment that health professionals need for the surgical care of patients with suspected or confirmed cases of COVID-19. Methods: integrative review performed in the Latin American and Caribbean Health Sciences Literature and National Library of Medicine databases with articles published between November 2019 and September 2020. Results: resulted in 13 articles grouped into two themes: Personal Protective Equipment necessary for the use by health professionals in the care of surgical patients and Conducts related to the use of Personal Protective Equipment in the same context. Conclusion: equipment necessary for surgical care are N95/PFF2 mask, face shield or goggles, long-sleeved waterproof aprons, knee-length shoe protector, cap and double gloves. These findings contribute to help health professionals to protect themselves and choose the necessary equipment for providing care to COVID-19 patients.
