INTRODUCTION: After the World Health Organization declared the COVID-19 outbreak
a pandemic, the number of patients with confirmed SARS-CoV-2 infection (COVID-19)
has increased exponentially, and gastroenterologists and other specialists most
likely will be involved in the care of those patients. AIM: To evaluate the
knowledge Latin American gastroenterologists and endoscopists (staff physicians
and residents) have about the characteristics of COVID-19, as well as the
prevention measures to be taken during endoscopic procedures. MATERIALS AND
METHODS: We conducted a cross-sectional study that included gastroenterologists
and endoscopists from 9 Latin American countries. An electronic questionnaire was
applied that was designed to evaluate the knowledge of symptoms, risk groups for
severe disease, prevention measures, and the reprocessing of endoscopes utilized
in patients with COVID-19. RESULTS: Information was obtained from 133 physicians.
Ninety-five percent of them correctly identified the most frequent symptoms of
the virus, and 60% identified the 3 risk groups for severe disease. Sixty-six
percent of those surveyed did not consider it necessary to use standard
precautions during endoscopic procedures, and 30% did not consider contact
precautions necessary. Forty-eight percent of the participants surveyed were not
familiar with the protocol for reprocessing the endoscopes utilized in patients
with COVID-19. CONCLUSION: The majority of the gastroenterologists and
endoscopists surveyed were familiar with the signs and symptoms of COVID-19 and
the populations at risk for complications. There was a lack of knowledge about
prevention measures (during clinical care and endoscopic procedures) and the
reprocessing of endoscopic equipment by 70% and 48%, respectively, of those
surveyed. Dissemination and teaching strategies that increase the knowledge of
specific biosafety measures must be carried out.
