Abstract

Objective: to describe the demographical and clinical profile and the progression indicators for patients hospitalized in healthcare resources provided during the SARS-COV-2 pandemic.
Method: an observational retrospective study, which included all patients seen at the Pabellón Salud Vall d’Hebron (Barcelona) during its opening period (March, 29th to April, 18th, 2020). Demographic, clinical and progression variables were analyzed; descriptive analysis was conducted.
Results: the study included 63 patients; 55.6% (n= 35) were male, with a mean age of 76.5 (11.88) years. At admission, 79.3% (n= 50) did not present a previous history of cognitive deterioration; 61.9% (n= 39) could walk in a free or controlled way; 74.6% (n= 47) did not present continence issues; 39.7% (n= 25) were evaluated as without risk of pressure injury. The mean stay (SD) was 8.1 (3.8) days. Regarding the presence of adverse events during their hospital stay, 12.7% (n= 8) presented pressure injuries, 6.3% (n= 4) had some disorientation episode, and two falls were reported; while 67% (n= 42) had the primary Nursing diagnosis of Risk of Sepsis, and 41.3% (n= 26) required continuity of care.
Conclusions: the profile of the patient managed in these healthcare resources was an elderly person, without evident frailty indicators, and without any outstanding adverse events during their stay. The hospitalization units provided during the COVID-19 represented an adequate and safe resource for patient care in an emergency situation.
