Description
Summary:Goldkind et al talk about emergency care research, which is a highly heterogeneous category of research. Such research includes minimal-risk epidemiological studies that collect observational data to better characterize the phenomena of interest, as well as clinical trials of new and untested interventions for life-threatening diseases or conditions that require immediate life-saving administration to incapacitated patients. Unique ethical and regulatory challenges arise in ensuring the safety, rights, and well-being of individuals who are unable to provide informed consent and for whom study staff members are unable to locate an LAR prior to study enrollment.
