Abstract

COVID-19 is a disease caused by the SARS-CoV-2 virus. The World Health Organization declared it a global pandemic on March 11, 2020. In the General Hospital of Macas, 24 patients of Shuar ethnicity were admitted to the ICU service, 14 of whom died. Eastern Ecuador is home to indigenous Shuar communities where their beliefs, culture, socio-demographic and economic situation could hinder early diagnosis and spread of the virus. Objective: To determine the demographic and clinical characteristics of patients infected with COVID-19 in the ICU of the General Hospital of Macas. Methodology: Quantitative research with a population of 110 people (N=110) admitted to the ICU of the General Hospital of Macas. A non-probabilistic convenience sampling was carried out according to hospital admissions, which consisted of young people, adults and older adults diagnosed with SAARS COVID-19 at admission to the service. The patients’ medical records and databases were reviewed. The information was reviewed, analyzed, transcribed into Word, INFOSTAT software was used, and Microsoft Excel software was used to generate tables and graphs. © 2021, Venezuelan Society of Pharmacology and Clinical and Therapeutic Pharmacology.

COVID-19是由SARS-CoV-2病毒引起的疾病。世界卫生组织于2020年3月11日宣布新冠肺炎为全球大流行。在马卡斯总医院，24名舒阿族患者被送进重症监护室，其中14人死亡。厄瓜多尔东部是土著Shuar社区的家园，他们的信仰、文化、社会人口和经济状况可能阻碍病毒的早期诊断和传播。目的:了解马卡斯综合医院ICU感染新冠肺炎患者的人口学特征及临床特征。方法:对Macas综合医院ICU收治的110人(N=110)进行定量研究。根据入院情况进行非概率方便抽样，其中包括入院时被诊断为SAARS COVID-19的年轻人、成年人和老年人。对患者的医疗记录和数据库进行了审查。对资料进行审查、分析、转录到Word中，使用INFOSTAT软件，使用Microsoft Excel软件生成表格和图表。©2021，委内瑞拉药理学和临床与治疗药理学学会。版权所有。
