Area of Science:

  • Medical Ethics
  • Infectious Diseases
  • Surgical Procedures

Background:

  • The COVID-19 pandemic presents unique challenges for surgical informed consent.
  • Patients undergoing surgery during this period face heightened risks of post-operative intensive care unit (ICU) admission and mortality, particularly if symptomatic.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop and propose a revised informed consent process for surgical patients in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic.
  • To integrate specific considerations for novel corona virus disease 2019 into the standard surgical informed consent.

Main Methods:

  • Review of existing informed consent procedures.
  • Identification of key risks associated with COVID-19 in surgical patients.
  • Development of a modified informed consent document incorporating disease-specific elements.

Main Results:

  • A new informed consent format has been devised.
  • This format includes specific considerations for novel corona virus disease 2019.
  • The revised format aims to better inform patients about pandemic-related surgical risks.

Conclusions:

  • The proposed informed consent format can help mitigate challenges in surgical decision-making during the COVID-19 pandemic.
  • Enhanced patient understanding of risks is crucial for ethical surgical practice in infectious disease outbreaks.
  • Adapting consent processes is essential for patient safety and ethical care during public health crises.
