Consent form for Cell Saver use in cancer patients
Hello,
I have been asked to develop a consent form for using the Cell Saver when it is a cancer patient since there is a theoretical risk of spreading the cancer. Although our medical director feels it is safe according to the medical literature, there is a feeling that the patient should be informed about the possible risk before making a decision. Has anyone developed a form like this and if so I would appreciate receiving a copy, if possible. Thanks for your input.
