Abstract

Objective: To map the utilization of helmet therapy as a modality of ventilatory support in adult patients within the hospital setting during the COVID-19 pandemic. Method: This scoping review protocol is based on the Joanna Briggs Institute methodology and the recommendations of the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic reviews and Meta-Analyses extension for Scoping Reviews. The review will be conducted in five stages: 1) identification of the research question; 2) identification of relevant studies that allow for the breadth and scope of the review's purposes; 3) selection of studies, according to predefined criteria; 4) data mapping; and 5) presentation of results. The MEDLINE, LILACS, Web of Science, Scopus, IBECS, and Brazilian Digital Library of Theses and Dissertations databases will be consulted. The results of the scoping review will be presented through a flow diagram, tables, and textual description. Additionally, they will be discussed and analyzed, aiming to identify limitations and potential of the addressed theme.
