SARS-CoV-2 has presented rapid person-to-person transmission and is currently a global pandemic. In the largest number of cases described to date of hospitalized patients with SARS-CoV-2 disease (2019-nCoViD), 26% required care in an intensive care unit (ICU). This pandemic is causing an unprecedented mobilization of the scientific community, which has been associated with an exponentially growing number of publications in relation to it. This narrative literature review aims to gather the main contributions in the area of intensive care to date in relation to the epidemiology, clinic, diagnosis and management of 2019-nCoViD.enCoronavirusCuidados intensivosFactores de riesgoIntensive carePandemiaPandemicRisk factorsSARS-CoV-2TriageTriajecoronavirusAge FactorsAngiotensin-Converting Enzyme 2Antiviral AgentsAsymptomatic InfectionsBetacoronavirusCOVID-19Coronavirus InfectionsCritical CareCritical IllnessHumansPandemicsPeptidyl-Dipeptidase APersonal Protective EquipmentPneumonia, ViralSARS-CoV-2Standard of CareSymptom AssessmentTriageresearch article32362424open access10.1016/j.medin.2020.03.0012173-5727PMC7271070https://doi.org/10.1016/j.medin.2020.03.001https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC7271070/pdf
