Resumen

Objective: To identify the frequency of errors in informed consent documents in radioguided surgery ina third level hospital and to detect possible causes or factors associated with a greater risk of error.Material and methods: Informed consent forms of a total of 369 radioguided surgery interventions, com-pleted by the Nuclear Medicine and General Surgery services, were analyzed, and the degree of completionof the forms and its correlation with the physicians responsible, type of pathology, intervention, andwaiting time were compared with the completion of consent by another specialty.Results: Errors were identified in 22 consent forms from Nuclear Medicine and 71 from General Surgery.The most common error was the absence of identification of the physician responsible (17 in NuclearMedicine, 51 in General Surgery), and the second most common was the absence of a document (2 inNuclear Medicine, 20 in General Surgery). There were significant differences in the errors made dependingon the doctor in charge, with no significant correlation with the other variables.Conclusions: The physicians responsible were the main factor associated with a greater risk of error inthe completion of informed consent forms. Further studies are needed to analyze the causal factors andpossible interventions to minimize errors
