Delayed Consent for Research During the Emergent Care of Febrile Young Infants: Feasible, Acceptable, Doable

Listen to this summary

The authors aimed to evaluate the feasibility and acceptability of delayed consent for research involving blood samples from febrile infants during emergent care. The study found that a significant majority of parents were comfortable with this approach, with 86.9% considering it acceptable and 81.5% consenting to the use of their infants' samples, suggesting that delayed consent can facilitate ethical pediatric research while minimizing stress during urgent medical situations.
