Abstract
El consentimiento informado es un documento que debe ser trasladado al
paciente por el médico previo a la realización de alguna intervención quirúrgica,
por lo cual el mismo debe contener toda información relevante sobre el servicio
a contratar. Sin embargo, es común que los especialistas en salud solo informen
al usuario sobre los riesgos inherentes de la intervención médica, pero no los
riesgos reales derivados de la salud y condición actual del paciente. Toda vez
que de informar ello podría generar un cambio en la decisión del consumidor si
someterse o no a la intervención médica.
Por ello, el objetivo del presente trabajo de investigación es la de determinar la
importancia de tener un consentimiento informado que posea información
relevante y que el mismo no se agota con la entrega del documento sino que
requiere la comprensión del contenido por parte del paciente.
Por lo tanto, se concluirá que el consentimiento informado debe adoptar una
mayor similitud a lo regulado en la normativa española, toda vez que ello podría
fortalecer la relación médico-paciente; la tutela de los derechos de información,
salud, seguridad e integridad del usuario; reducir las contingencias por infracción
administrativa al deber de información por parte del proveedor; y que permitiría
la conformación de consentimientos informados personalizados cuya
particularidad sería la de comunicar los riesgos reales de la condición actual de
salud del paciente vinculadas a la intervención médica.
The informed consent is a document that must be transferred to the patient by the physician prior to the performance of any surgical intervention, so it must contain all relevant information about the service to be contracted. However, it is common that health specialists only inform the user about the inherent risks of the medical intervention, but not the real risks derived from the patient's health and current condition. This information could lead to a change in the consumer's decision whether or not to undergo the medical intervention. Therefore, the objective of this research work is to determine the importance of having an informed consent that contains relevant information and that it is not exhausted with the delivery of the document but requires the understanding of the content by the patient. Therefore, it will be concluded that the informed consent should adopt a greater similarity to that regulated in the Spanish regulations, since this could strengthen the doctor-patient relationship; the protection of the user's rights to information, health, safety and integrity; reduce the contingencies for administrative infringement of the duty of information, and would allow the creation of personalized informed consents whose particularity will be to communicate the real risks of the patient's current health condition linked to the medical intervention.
