ABSTRACT

The contagion risk for the healthcare teams that attend the pandemic at the frontlines is a worrying reality, even more so in Latin America, the new epicenter of COVID-19 pandemic, where converge the conditions of the disease and the social problems of a region with low-and middle-incomes. We might think that having high quality Personal Protective Equipment is sufficient guarantee to be safe and the evidence shows us that it is not the only factor involved in protection or risk, as in most crises. Human factors can be determinants of protection when controlled or risk when not properly managed. Simulation centers have the capacity to participate in the construction of high-performance clinical teams that can confront safely this new enemy which threatens both patients and healthcare personnel.
