Informed consent: a medical decision (II)

R W Allen

    Radiology

    Summary

    Radiologists should not obtain informed consent before urography. This practice may induce anxiety, potentially leading to adverse reactions, outweighing legal considerations.

    Area of Science:

    • Radiology
    • Medical Ethics

    Background:

    • Informed consent is often obtained before urography, primarily due to legal concerns.
    • Anxiety is a known factor that can contribute to idiosyncratic reactions during medical procedures.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To evaluate the practice of obtaining informed consent before urography.
    • To determine if informed consent influences patient anxiety and potential reactions.

    Main Methods:

    • Review of current practices regarding informed consent for urography.
    • Analysis of the relationship between informed consent, patient anxiety, and urographic examination outcomes.

    Main Results:

    • Obtaining informed consent before urography is a common practice driven by legal considerations.
    • Patient anxiety, potentially exacerbated by the consent process, is a significant factor in idiosyncratic reactions.

    Conclusions:

    • Radiologists should reconsider obtaining informed consent prior to urography.
    • Avoiding pre-urography informed consent may reduce patient anxiety and the incidence of adverse reactions.
