Abstract

Objective: To summarize the scientific production on surgical procedures during the COVID-19 pandemic. Method: This is an integrative review conducted between September and November 2020 in the following databases: PubMed, Medical Literature Analysis and Retrieval System Online (MEDLINE), Latin American and Caribbean Health Sciences Literature (Literatura Latino-Americana e do Caribe em Ciências da Saúde — LILACS), and Nursing
Database (Base de Dados em Enfermagem — BDENF); combining the descriptors: “coronavirus and perioperative care”; “coronavirus and operating room
nursing”; “perioperative care and operating room nursing”, connected by the Boolean operator “AND”. We retrieved 858 articles and included 15 in the
sample. The level of scientific evidence was applied. Results: The publications had methods such as clinical recommendations, case reports, and observational studies, with level of evidence VI, indexed in the PubMed, LILACS, and MEDLINE databases. The articles provide recommendations on the management of surgical procedures, human resources, and materials for the working of the surgical center during the pandemic. Conclusions: We highlight the possibility of limiting elective surgical procedures, with access to rapid tests and effectiveness in protecting professionals.
