Informed consent has become a challenging issue when surgery at the time of novel corona virus disease 2019 (COVID-19) is to be performed, in view of increased risk of the need of intensive care unit (ICU) in the post-operative period and the associated high mortality if a patient exhibits COVID-19 symptoms in the post-operative period. We have devised a new informed consent format for all patients undergoing surgery incorporating a few points specific for the disease.
鉴于2019年新型冠状病毒病(COVID-19)患者术后需要重症监护病房(ICU)的风险增加,以及如果患者在术后出现COVID-19症状则相关死亡率较高,在进行COVID-19手术时,知情同意已成为一个具有挑战性的问题。我们为所有接受手术的患者设计了一种新的知情同意书格式,其中纳入了一些针对该疾病的特定要点。
