Emergency care needs to be underpinned by the highest quality evidence. However, research involving critically ill patients in the emergency setting has unique ethical, logistical and regulatory issues. Informed consent is a well-established principle in conventional research. In this article, we discuss informed consent as it pertains to the difficulties of research in the emergency setting. Alternatives to informed consent are discussed. Human research ethics committees require a greater understanding of consent issues in emergency care research for Australia to remain competitive internationally.
急诊护理需要以最高质量的证据为支撑。然而，在急诊环境中对重症患者进行的研究存在独特的伦理、后勤和监管问题。知情同意是传统研究中一项既定原则。在本文中，我们讨论与急诊环境下研究困难相关的知情同意问题。还讨论了知情同意的替代方案。为使澳大利亚在国际上保持竞争力，人类研究伦理委员会需要更深入地理解急诊护理研究中的同意问题。
