Description
Summary:Triage is a key process in contingency situations, such as the one currently experienced in the face of the COVID-19 pandemic, so it is necessary to know and apply biosafety protocols that allow nursing professionals to carry out their role in a effective and timely without putting your health, that of colleagues, patients and families at risk. That is why this research aims to verify the application of biosecurity measures for COVID-19 in the triage area of the General Hospital Quevedo (IESS). For this, a methodological framework was designed with a quantitative approach, at an observationaland exploratory level, where information was collected through an observation file that allowed guiding the observation process of 13 nursing professionals who work in the triage area of the General Quevedo Hospital. (IESS). From this process it was obtained as the main result that the average general compliance with the biosafety regulations is 74%, registering that most of the professionals present a moderate level of compliance, and only one has a low percentage of compliance with the biosafety protocols. Concluding with the investigation that the biosafety protocols in the triage area are applied to the greatest extent possible, presenting a greater deficiency in the area of replacement of personal protective equipment, availability for disinfectionand disposal of non-reusable products and in the application of the discard questions indicated by the Ministry of Public Health. In this sense, it is recommended to socialize the proposed guide in order to remember the relevant biosafety protocols to avoid contagion from nursing professionals and patient users of these areas.Keywords: Triage.
