1, surgical consent form, signed by the patient himself. If I can't or should not sign, the patient's close relatives (such as spouse, parents, children, etc.). ) will sign the agreement.

2. If the patient or his close relatives are not informed of the consequences of the operation and related measures through the above channels, the hospital shall be liable for the non-medical damage caused by the operation.

Strictly speaking, there is no direct relationship between whether to sign the consent form for operation and whether the hospital has the responsibility. That is, if the hospital's medical behavior is not at fault and does not cause non-medical damage to patients, even if there is no patient's signature, it does not need to bear the liability for compensation; If there is a fault in the medical behavior of the hospital, even if the patient signs it, he should be liable for compensation. ?

Reasons for asking patients' family members to sign before operation

There are laws and regulations to require patients' family members to sign before operation. China's "Regulations on the Administration of Medical Institutions" stipulates that when a medical institution performs surgery, special examination or special treatment, it must obtain the consent of the patient and obtain the consent and signature of his family members or related personnel; If the patient's opinion cannot be obtained, it shall be agreed and signed by the family members or relevant personnel;

When patients' opinions cannot be obtained and no family members or related personnel are present, or other special circumstances are encountered, the attending physician will put forward a medical treatment plan, which will be implemented after being approved by the person in charge of the medical institution or the authorized person in charge.

Requiring the patient's family members to sign before operation is a measure to safeguard the patient's right to informed consent. In medical and judicial practice, the right of informed consent can be understood as the right of patients with full capacity for civil conduct and their authorized persons, or guardians without full capacity for civil conduct and their authorized persons, to know the patient's condition, and on this basis, to make a voluntary choice on the diagnosis and treatment plan proposed by medical personnel.
