ABSTRACT

The COVID-19 pandemic has forced us to rethink the way we practice some aspects of medicine. Cardiopulmonary resuscitation is a practice that generates aerosol particles from the airway, which increases the risk of SARS-CoV-2 infection. In this review, the international recommendations on the subject are consulted, high-risk moments are defined and recommendations are established on compressions, ventilation, electrical therapy and even pharmacology in patients with cardiac arrest and with a diagnosis of COVID-19, seeking not only the well-being of the patient, but also the safety of health personnel.
