The development of the COVID-19 pandemic has generated a health crisis in the world from which Ecuador has not been able to recover, the lack of organization, the poor distribution of health resources, have generated a breach of several bioethical principles during the medical practice, in this context the present research work aims to determine the application of bioethical principles in medical practice during the health emergency by COVID 19, through a documentary narrative bibliographic review of the last 5 years in databases such as Pubmed, Elsevier, academic Google, Scielo, using Health Sciences descriptors such as: coronavirus disease, bioethical principles, bioethics, public health, humanization of care. The inclusion criteria were complete articles in English and Spanish between the years 2017-2022. The review of 30 articles that met the eligibility criteria was added. In the results we address bioethical principles, ethical dilemmas that are derived from fear and mental health; the lack of individual protection equipment; lack of resources and equipment and the doctor-patient relationship.
