Inebriation and patient informed consent

JUDr. ©árka ©peciánová
členka etické komise, VFN Praha

In his practice, the physician may encounter a patient whose capacity to perceive the nature, importance, and extent of his actions may

significantly be affected, if not disabled, by his inebriation. Inebriation may, among other things, cause trouble when a patient is to give

consent to medical procedure if such is requested by the valid legal regulations. It is up to the physician to determine whether or not the

patient is in a condition to provide a legally valid informed consent.

Keywords: inebriation, informed consent, capacity to provide legally valid informed consent, mental status affected by alcohol use.
