Autonomy and Exception from Informed-Consent Research

C. A. Macardle, Rachel Stanley

Open full text 4 citations

Abstract

The well-recorded historical abuse of biomedical research subjects around the world has led to a lasting distrust of the research system [1]. For this reason, it is usually considered obligatory to acquire informed consent for research studies. The international research community strongly condemns any disregard for proper consenting processes [1]. Because of this requirement, vital emergency medicine (EM) research is hampered by urgent health needs that render patients unable to consent for studies. This has led to a relative dearth of research for emergency treatments.
