@C7RKY@ResusCouncilUK Yes. I say to the patient Id like to swap your face mask for ... Because.... They agree which is consent. -
@JFr4ser@ResusCouncilUK Hmmm.. not *entirely* sold on that process. Maybe not best example, but what about other options/risks discussion? -
@C7RKY@ResusCouncilUK What other options are there for oxygen therapy? Some form of mask or a ventilator. Without it no survival -
@JFr4ser@ResusCouncilUK I know more about consent than this area of medicine, tbh. Trying to grasp the specifics as they apply here. -
@C7RKY@ResusCouncilUK < oxygen, fluids, escalating to HDU, central venous line, non-invasive ventilation, inotropic drugs, ITU ventilation> -
@C7RKY@ResusCouncilUK < from what would be offered what would be acceptable to them. Even with no co-morbidity I could refuse any of those -
@JFr4ser@ResusCouncilUK They can only select from options they get told about though. What do you mean by 'I could refuse any of those'? -
@C7RKY@ResusCouncilUK You have the right to say no to anything offered. If I was so determined that I didn't want any treatment so be it - 11 more replies
