Re: Consent for deliveryFrom: Braun, R. Daniel (rbraun@iupui.edu)Tue Jul 30 09:20:21 2002
We don't here in Indiana. The patient presenting in labor is considered to be consent. In my prior incarnation in Texas, we got consent on admission using the standard Texas consentfor procedure form with the prescribed possible complications filled in. Those include death or neurologic damage to the fetus. Dan -----Original Message----- From: l.glazerman@rcn.com To: Multiple recipients of list OB-GYN-L Sent: 7/30/2002 8:27 AM Subject: Consent for delivery I'm interested in how the group handles consents for delivery. Several specific questions: 1. Do you have patients sign consent for delivery? 2. Is it your hospital's standard OR consent? 3. When is it signed? 4. How long does your hospital consider consent valid? We're having a go around with legal over this. In our hospital, consent is only considered valid for 30 days. Consent is required for labor and delivery. Most of the private offices sign consent at the first prenatal visit, which is obviously more than 30 days in advance. In the clinic, they're doing it when the patient presents in labor. I contend that consent obtained in labor is probably not valid, since the patient can be considered under duress, and not able to give true informed consent. Larry Glazerman

The American Medical Association is no longer designating CME hours for AMA Category II CME credit. However, physicians themselves may self designate learning activities as Category II CME credit hours if they feel it is of sufficient educational merit and meets the formal definitions of continuing medical education. OBGYN.net believes these interaction in this forum meets these criteria. For further information see the AMA web site.
