Abstract
in English, Spanish

The severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) disease (COVID-19) has caused a large global outbreak and has had a major impact on health systems and societies worldwide. The generation of knowledge about the disease has occurred almost as fast as its global expansion. Very few studies have reported on the effects of the infection on maternal health, since its onset. The mother and foetus do not seem to be at particularly high risk. Nevertheless, obstetrics and maternal-foetal medicine practice have made profound changes in order to adapt to the pandemic. In addition, there are aspects specific to COVID-19 and gestation that should be known by specialists. In this review an evidenced-based protocol is presented for the management of COVID-19 in pregnancy.

La infección causada por el nuevo coronavirus SARS-CoV-2 (COVID-19) representa actualmente una de las mayores emergencias sanitarias a nivel mundial. La aparición de una nueva infección potencialmente grave y la situación de pandemia actual ha implicado importantes ajustes en la práctica clínica en medicina materno-fetal. Aunque no parece existir una mayor afectación o susceptibilidad al virus de las mujeres embarazadas respecto la población general, existen aspectos específicos ligados a la gestación que deben tenerse en cuenta de cara al diagnóstico y manejo de la COVID-19 en pacientes embarazadas. En el siguiente documento se exponen las recomendaciones y el protocolo de actuación ante la infección por COVID-19 durante el embarazo desarrollado en nuestro centro, basado en la evidencia científica disponible hasta la fecha y las principales recomendaciones internacionales.

Keywords: COVID-19; Coronavirus; Delivery; Management; Pregnancy; SARS-CoV-2.
