ME, Presa-García et al. The Department of Psychiatry and Mental Health of the Military Hospital «Gómez Ulla» during the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic. Sanid. Mil. [online]. 2020, vol.76, n.2, pp.91-95. Epub 01-Feb-2021. ISSN 1887-8571. https://dx.doi.org/10.4321/s1887-85712020000200008.
In this work the structural and logistical measures are exposed, as well as the planned clinical practice, to be able to respond to the pandemic caused by the virus SARS-CoV-2 in the Department of Psychiatry and Mental Health of the Central Defense Hospital «Gómez Ulla». The planning of the care function was divided into five groups: psychiatric patients admitted to the Brief Hospitalization Unit; patients with psychiatric pathology admitted to other different Psychiatric Services; outpatients treated in Outpatient Consultations; the relatives of the patients admitted by COVID-19; the health personnel of the Central Defense Hospital «Gómez Ulla». Based on the needs of these care groups, comprehensive care planning was carried out. During the period March 14 to May 30, 13% of the staff presented moderate-severe symptoms of COVID-19; 19% of the psychiatric patients admitted to the hospitalization unit were COVID19 positive, none of whom died. 74% of the inter-consultations carried out were on patients admitted for COVID-19 who presented mostly confusional symptoms of varying intensity or psychosis secondary to the use of drugs in the active treatment of COVID-19. 4.185 calls were made to family members, of which 14% (n = 575) were at the request of the family members themselves. More than 220 video calls were made and 100% of the external consultations were kept online.
