Abstract

Objective: The objective of this study was to inform the experience of nursing education professionals in the development and application of a realistic simulation method to readjust the process and treatment flow of patients with a new coronavirus in a reference unit of high cardiovascular complexity. Methods: This is a descriptive study, in the form of experience reports, developed a script that was applied to all professionals involved from the patient's reception at the hospital's entrance to the Intensive Care Unit.

Opportunities were identified to review personal protective equipment for the reception staff, support and companion, review of the management of care for Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome in the first service and in the tomography room, as well as the elaboration of a standard operational protocol for the institution. Conclusion: The use of realistic simulation as a method to understand the flow of patients with suspected coronavirus favored a greater perception of reality, evaluating behaviors, attitudes and technical skills that could influence the destruction of the virus's spreading barrier.
