Abstract

One hundred post-menopausal women given HRT were reviewed 12 months after their first visit to determine their compliance with treatment. Sixty-one percent continued to take the therapy while 27% ceased. Most often the reason for ceasing HRT was return of bleeding but a number of women expressed fear of developing cancer or other long term complications.

Implementing emergency research requiring exception from informed consent, community consultation, and public disclosure.

Conducting emergency research in the out-of-hospital and emergency department setting is a challenge because of the inability of patients to provide informed consent in many situations. Federal guidelines allowing research under an exception from informed consent for emergency research have been established (21 CRF 50.24). Community consultation and public disclosure, 2 required components of obtaining this exception, are seen by many as a barrier to resuscitation research. This article will provide a brief overview of the history of the exception from informed consent for emergency research and summarize our methods recently used to successfully complete community consultation and public disclosure for a trial evaluating 2 devices used during cardiopulmonary resuscitation in a large metropolitan area.
