Abstract

The COVID-19 pandemic is forcing our entire society to adopt numerous changes, at least until an effective treatment and/or vaccine becomes widely available. Because COVID-19 is a new disease that has required us to make complex decisions based on scant evidence, the pandemic is having an enormous impact on our health system.

Radiology departments play a fundamental role in the management of COVID-19, both in the diagnosis of the disease and in the posterior management of patients. To ensure the safety of patients and healthcare professionals, it is essential to understand the infection so that safe circuits can be implemented.

This article summarizes the pathophysiology of COVID-19 infection and explains the measures that radiology departments need to adopt during the pandemic.

Keywords:
Coronavirus infection
Patient safety
Practice management
Resumen

La infección COVID-19 está obligando a toda la sociedad a adoptar numerosos cambios, al menos hasta que exista un tratamiento o vacuna eficaces. El impacto que está produciendo en nuestro sistema sanitario tiene pocos precedentes similares, al tratarse de una patología nueva y que ha obligado a tomar decisiones complejas a partir de una evidencia escasa.

Los servicios de radiología tienen un papel fundamental en el manejo de esta patología, tanto en el diagnóstico como en el manejo posterior de los pacientes. Pero, para ello, se debe entender la infección, de forma que se puedan poner en marcha circuitos seguros para pacientes y trabajadores.

En este artículo se resume la fisiopatología de la infección COVID-19 y se presentan las medidas que se deben adoptar en el servicio de radiología.

Palabras clave:
