INTRODUCTION: The COVID-19 pandemic has led to the suspension of programmed
activity in most of the Endoscopy Units in our environment. The aim of this
document is to facilitate the resumption of elective endoscopic activity in an
efficient and safe manner. MATERIAL AND METHODS: A series of questions considered
to be of clinical and logistical relevance were formulated. In order to elaborate
the answers, a structured bibliographic search was carried out in the main
databases and the recommendations of the main Public Health and Digestive
Endoscopy institutions were reviewed. The final recommendations were agreed upon
through telematic means. RESULTS: A total of 33 recommendations were made. The
main aspects discussed are: 1) Reassessment and prioritization of the indication,
2) Restructuring of spaces, schedules and health personnel, 3) Screening for
infection, 4) Hygiene measures and personal protective equipment. CONCLUSION: The
AEG and SEED recommend restarting endoscopic activity in a phased, safe manner,
adapted to local resources and the epidemiological situation of SARS-CoV-2
infection.
