ABSTRACT

RESUMO A pandemia da COVID-19 é associada com o novo tipo do coronavírus, o SARS-Cov-2, que causa síndrome respiratória aguda grave. Esse vírus afeta o trato respiratório superior e é transmitido, principalmente, por gotículas, espirros e aerossóis e, por isso, há um alto risco de transmissão durante os procedimentos do fonoaudiólogo que atua no ambiente hospitalar. O objetivo deste artigo foi descrever as iniciativas que podem ser adotadas pelo fonoaudiólogo que atende pacientes à beira do leito, com disfagia, visando diminuir o risco de contaminação cruzada na prática clínica durante a pandemia do SARS-CoV-2.


ABSTRACT The COVID-19 pandemic is associated with a new strain of coronavirus, SARS-Cov-2, which causes severe acute respiratory syndrome. This virus affects the upper respiratory tract and is transmitted mainly by droplets, sneezes and aerosols, so there is a high risk of transmission during the procedures of the speech therapist who works in the hospital environment. This article aims to describe the steps that can be taken by the speech therapist who attends bedside patients with dysphagia, to reduce the risk of cross-contamination in clinical practice during the COVID-19 pandemic.
