Contrast Consent
1. Do you need consent for IV contrast? | |
2. Do you need consent for oral or rectal contrast? | |
3. Who gets the signed consent? | |
4. What if the patient is unable to sign consent what do we do? | |
When the patient is not able to sign consent often a relative has the patient's permission to act on their behalf. When this is not the case, each hospital has its own internal policy (which at Hopkins means a doctor can sign if the study needs to be done immediately.) | |
