Objective: To describe the elaboration and validation of a protocol for the care of suspected patients with Coronavirus Disease-19 (COVID-19) undergoing hemodialysis.
Method: Methodological study conducted from March to August 2020 at a referral hospital in southern Brazil. The study involved situational diagnosis, literature review, protocol elaboration and content validation (scope, clarity and relevance). Ten professionals from the multidisciplinary team with experience in caring for patients with kidney disease and an official nursing supervisory body participated in the validation. 100% consensus was reached among experts.
Results: The following were elaborated: “Flow of patient care composed of six stages and” and “Management plan for dialysis centers”. The validation allowed to improve and refine the content, complying with the precepts of health standards, safety and clinical guidelines.
Final considerations: The elaboration and validation of the protocol can standardize and guide clinical practice, promoting continuity and safety in care, and can be used in other centers.
