Informed Consent for Lumbar Puncture

Jeffrey R. Botkin, MD, MPH

Am J Dis Child. 1989;143(8):899-904.

Abstract

• Informed consent procedures are commonly employed priorto lumbar puncture. An understanding of the legal and ethicalbasis of informed consent is important in developing an acceptableapproach to consent and in dealing with problems confrontedwhen consent cannot be obtained. I review the current legalconcepts in informed consent and their ethical foundation, andmake recommendations to clinicians for obtaining consent forthis common procedure in the ambulatory pediatric population.
