“…The high transmissibility and lack of specific treatment for coronavirus disease-2019 (Covid-19) has prompted the authorities of most countries to impose temporary lockdowns on their populations to contain the spread of the disease. 1 , 2 The potential health consequences of home confinement in this setting are not well characterized. 3 Home continuous positive pressure ventilation (CPAP) is the treatment of choice for patients with obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) 4 although its effectiveness depends largely on therapeutic compliance.…”

“…Su transmisibilidad es muy alta (al nivel de SARS o de la pandemia gripal de 1918) sugiriendo un posible crecimiento exponencial (20) . El mecanismo es por contacto próximo, gotas respiratorias o manos contaminadas, también es posible a través de superficies infectadas (21) . Los coronavirus humanos persisten en metales, vidrio o plásticos más de nueve días.…”

RESUMEN. Introducción: La utilización de dispositivos de barrera adicional para la intubación endotraqueal constituye un reto para la práctica médica durante la actual pandemia. Se pueden utilizar múltiples herramientas para intubación del paciente minimizando la exposición del operador sin afectar la seguridad del procedimiento. El médico debe evaluar y comprender adecuadamente cualquier estrategia adicional, ya que podría interferir con la intubación, aumentando el tiempo de manipulación. Objetivo: Comparar preferencia de los anestesiólogos entre dos dispositivos de barrera, uno diseñado con base en una lámina plástica versus caja de acrílico. Material y métodos: Incluimos 102 pacientes intervenidos de cirugías electivas y de urgencias que aceptaron participar en este estudio prospectivo, transversal y comparativo de manera voluntaria con previo consentimiento informado. Resultados: La lámina de plástico permite un menor tiempo de intubación, menos intentos de laringoscopía y disminuye dificultades de abordaje, además genera un grado de satisfacción mayor en el personal en comparación con dispositivos rígidos como la caja de acrílico. Conclusiones: Es posible obtener buenos resultados para instrumentar la vía aérea cuando se utilizan dispositivos de barrera adicional en personal entrenado. No obstante, teniendo en cuenta los hallazgos de este trabajo existen ventajas con el uso de lámina de plástico. ABSTRACT. Introduction: The use of additional barrier devices for endotracheal intubation constitutes a challenge for medical practice during the current pandemic. Multiple tools can be used for patient intubation minimizing operator exposure without compromising procedural safety. Any additional strategy must be properly evaluated and understood by the physician as it could interfere with intubation, increasing handling time. Objective: To compare anesthesiologists' preference between two barrier devices, one designed based on a plastic sheet vs an acrylic box. Material and methods:We included 102 patients who underwent elective and emergency surgeries who voluntarily agreed to participate in this prospective, cross-sectional and comparative study with prior informed consent. Results: The plastic sheet allows a shorter intubation time, fewer laryngoscopy attempts and reduces approach difficulties, in addition it generates a higher degree of satisfaction in the personnel compared to rigid devices such as the acrylic box. Conclusions: It is possible to obtain good results to instrument the airway when additional barrier devices are used in trained personnel. However, taking into account the findings of this work, there are advantages with the use of plastic sheeting.

“…The appearance of this new infectious disease of this magnitude leads to a complex situation (Llisterri Caro, 2020;Palacios et al, 2020;Trilla, 2020). The declaration as a health emergency entails extraordinary measures such as the immediate suspension of non-essential activities in the public, private, and social sectors to mitigate the spread of the virus (Peña-Otero et al, 2020).…”

New infectious diseases, especially one of the magnitudes of COVID-19, leads to complex situations for individuals and communities alike. Particularly in higher education, learners faced a surrealist world in which education shifted abruptly to an online setting because of the virus. Regardless of their field of study, they had to apply coping strategies to adapt and incorporate new values, beliefs, and perspectives into a new learning environment. Universities must foster educational opportunities to train learners on these capacities to prepare professionals for their success in their profession. This study’s objective was to assess these adaptability strategies that higher-education learners had to tackle the uncertainty of the coronavirus pandemic. A quantitative approach was considered with a descriptive and cross-sectional design. The convenience sample consisted of 34 learners in the final year of their medical program. As an instrument, an adaptation of the Proactive Coping Inventory was used with a 5-level Likert scale where 1 stands for total disagreement and 5 with total agreement. According to the results, students use more than one strategy to cope with difficult situations. The mean obtained in the control strategy was 3.98, curiosity 3.18, confidence 3.02, and concern was 2.97. The ANOVA test showed that there is no significant difference in the dimensions (p-value of 0.062). These results indicate that students had the intellectual curiosity to propose new personal and professional development goals and monitor the scope of those through selfregulation. Institutions need to learn from what they implemented amid the pandemic and incorporate best practices for the new normality ahead. Keywords: educational innovation, higher education, professional education, medical education, coping strategies, pandemic adaptations
