Abstract
Objective: to map the scenario of maternal death due to infection by the SARS-CoV-2 virus in pregnant and puerperal women. Method: A scoping review according to the Joanna Briggs Institute and conducted by means of a research strategy in the literature available in the SciELO, LILACS, PubMed, CINAHL, Web of Science and PUBCOVID19 databases. The analysis of the material identified was carried out by two independent reviewers. The data were extracted using an instrument prepared by the authors, analyzed, summarized and classified as conceptual categories. Results: of the 231 studies found, 66 were eligible and had their results summarized in four conceptual categories: Outcome of maternal death due to COVID-19; Outcome of maternal death in the coronavirus pandemics; Maternal death by obstetric group; SARS-CoV-2 infection, maternal death, health resources and social determinants. Conclusion: vigilant care, early diagnosis and timely access were necessary events to prevent maternal death in 2020.
