Abstract

In an emergency, doctors must act quickly, precisely and with quality to help patiens in order to save their lives from death or disability. The study aims to analyze informed consent in an emergency and legal protection for doctors who perform medical procedures in emergencies and who do not provide medical information after the medial action has been carried out based the Agreement and Health Law. From the results of this study, it was found that the patient must sign the informed consent given before the medical action is carried out. However, after the medical action is carried out, the doctor is required to provide information regarding the action taken on the patient based on Article 4 PERMENKES Number 290/MENKES/PER/III/2008 concerning Approval of Medical Treatment and Article 17 KODEKI. In addition, doctors get legal protection related to medical action in emergencies based on Law Number 29 of 2004 concerning Medical Practice as long as the doctor carried out his dutied in accordance with applicable professional standard operating procedures. In this case, if the doctor performs a medical action in an emergency that is not accordance with applicable professional standard operating procedures, such as not providing information on actions taken after the patient is conscious or a patiens family arrives, the doctor is personaly responsible, but if the doctor works at hone if the hospital is based on the theory of central responsibility or centralized responsibility by the hospital, then the hospital is responsible.
