[marjenes@OPTUSNET.COM.AU Subject: Re: Patient consent post anaesthetic for Body Bluid Exposure Bloods In-Reply-To:]

Fri

Dear Sara the last seminar I attended that addressed this exact tropic (3
years ago from memory) in Melbourne was that the CMO of Vic could authorise
blood to be collected even while pt not able to give consent or even refuse
consent

I would be happy to be updated or be told I am incorrect but it’s what I
refer to when presenting

Body Bluid Exposure Bloods

Afternoon Brains Trust,

I am trying to update our Body Fluid Exposure consent process for patients.

If the patient has not consented to the collection of Hep B, C & HIV prior
to surgery, I was lead to believe that we had to wait 24 hrs post an
anaesthetic for the consent to be valid, however I do not have any written
evidence to back this up. I have also been told today that this is no longer
correct.

Are you able to direct me or provide any assistance with the correct
information in relation to this.

Many thanks for any assistance you can provide

Regards

Sara
