Abstract

Introduction: in order to support effective treatment for SARS-CoV-2, it was necessary to develop organizational actions in hospital services for the protection of health personnel and the control of virus transmission.

Objective: to describe the organizational measures adopted for neurosurgical care in times of COVID-19.

Methods: a study with a qualitative approach of the research-action type was carried out at the General Teaching Hospital "Cptan Roberto Rodríguez Fernández" in the Morón municipality in the Ciego de Ávila province, in the period between May/2020-November/2021. Documentary review, participant observation and discussion groups were used. Ethical principles were met.

Results: the action-research process followed the following three interrelated phases: determination of the research problem, formulation of a plan or program to solve the problem, and implementation of the plan with critical reflection and evaluation of results. The final result was made up of the general indications and the five levels of priority for patient care. This was supported by the work of the discussion group of the neurosurgery service.

Conclusions: the general indications and the five priority levels adopted for neurosurgical patient care during the COVID-19 pandemic are presented with the aim of avoiding the transmissibility of the disease between workers and patients.
