Abstract

Informed consent is a crucial and daily part of modern medical practice, reflection of the long path both patients and doctors have traveled in the struggle for respect of patients’ autonomy. It is of great importance to be aware of the current legal framework as there are constant updates of the law and judges often have to rely on case-law to make their decisions. 

For the writing of this review article, a research was carried out in different BOEs and Pubmed’s platform for articles published in both Spanish and English in the last 5 years with the following keywords: informed consent, anaesthesia, pregnant women, transfusions.
