Bioethical considerations in scientific research in the Service of Anesthesiology of Ciego de Avila
Abstract
Introduction: the processes of investigation developed in the field of Anaesthesiology have allowed to enriche the scientific knowledge and the application of technologies based on the ethical principles with the purpose of producing social welfare.
Method: an observational descriptive study was carried out to evaluate the application of the bioethic principles in the scientific investigation in the treatment of post-puncture cephalea in caesaread patients from Ciego of Avila. The sample consisted of 50 patients included in the study: Epidural dextran 40 patch in postpuncture headache treatment in cesarean patients. A scale of evaluation was applied, which was divided into three grades: excellent, very good and good taking into account the presence and the quality of the informed consent that unites the principles of autonomy and beneficence, no maleficence and justice as well as the evaluation of the results of the pain treatment to reinforce these criteria.
Results and discussion: very good results were shown in 92% of the cases according to the used scale and the existence of informed consent in all the studied patients, the pain was relief in 100 % of the patients. Only 4 patients (2 of each group) required to repeat the analgesia method and they had a good result according to the scale.
Conclusions: the study accomplished with the bioethics principles of beneficence, no maleficence and justice. The bioethic point of view related to autonomy exposes that the information about the applied treatment was not fully developedDownloads
