cord-270525-nmebqrb1	Núñez-Velasco, Santiago	Response to SARS-CoV-2 Pandemic in a Non-COVID-19 Designated Latin-American Neurosurgery Department	2020-05-11		.txt	text/plain	2660	133	53	METHODS An organized response regarding personnel, surgical case selection, operating room behavior, and facility reorganization were designed to prevent an internal coronavirus outbreak in the neurosurgery department at the Fray Antonio Alcalde Civil Hospital of Guadalajara. Based on the epidemiological and biological information available in the literature on COVID-19, specific measures adapted to our resources were implemented to design a protocol of organized administration of human resources both assistant and administrative, optimized surgical procedures, proper handling of personal protective equipment and adaptation of the facilities of the neurosurgery department of the FAAHC when treating neurosurgical patients with no SARS-CoV-2 known condition. This would lead us to a catastrophic scenario because there are reports of a 12% of hospital-associated transmission of the virus as the mechanism of infection of patients, that in our case are weak and many of them immunosuppressed; thus, cases of contamination of health-care personnel have also been reported, especially in non-designated COVID areas in which precautions might relax.	./cache/cord-270525-nmebqrb1.txt	./txt/cord-270525-nmebqrb1.txt
