Abstract

Informed consent is a process by which people are previously informed in a clear, complete, truthful and timely manner about the disposition of their human body, in life or post-mortem, whether for therapeutic, teaching or research purposes. Is a legitimating principle of the biomedical act as guarantees respect for the autonomy of the patient and justifies the intervention of health personnel. There are various forms of externalization of informed consent, according to the stipulations of the regulatory framework. It is considered as an inherent obligation to the actions of the health care professional, so it is understood as an integral part of the lex artis. A brief review of its legal regulation and of the doctrinal elements is made in order to identify its mandatory and legal significance.
