ABSTRACT
BACKGROUND: An informed consent is mandatory to obtain any clinical audiovisual material from patients. Although there are some documents created for this purpose, there are some barriers for their application, such as the context in which they were created, the language and download availability. AIM: To create a proposal for an informed consent form (ICF) for the capture and different uses for audiovisual material from patients. MATERIAL AND METHODS: A bibliographic search was carried out to obtain different ICFs in Spanish and English, which were subjected to a process of translation, counter-translation and fragmentation. Subsequently, a panel of experts was formed by members of the Chilean Society of Plastic Surgery with extensive experience in social networks. Delphi methodology was applied to reach a consensus about the definitive content of the ICF based on the previously selected fragments. RESULTS: ICFs available for download were identified. The panel was made up of seven Plastic Surgeons and two Delphi rounds were carried out through electronic surveys. At the end of the process, an ICF proposal was obtained for therapeutic, academic or scientific purposes and another for dissemination or education in the mass media. CONCLUSIONS: The proposed ICFs were liberated for their use among health care professionals in Chile, who could use them, provided that they are approved by the local healthcare ethics committees.

El dolor abdominal es uno de los motivos más frecuentes de consulta en los Servicios de Urgencias Pediátricas, siendo lo más importante diferenciar aquel cuadro que requiere tratamiento médico versus aquél que requería una solución quirúrgica. Aproximadamente el 5 por ciento al 15 por ciento de los niños que consultan por dolor abdominal agudo de más de 2 horas de duración serán intervenidos quirúrgicamente. La mayoría de los casos presentan una causa benigna, pero algunas requerirán un rápido diagnóstico y tratamiento para minimizar la morbimortalidad.

El síndrome hemolítico urémico (SHU) es una patología que se caracteriza por la tríada clásica: anemia hemolítica microangiopática, trombocitopenia y falla renal aguda, aunque el compromiso parenquimatoso puede ser multiorgánico (sistema nervioso central, corazón, páncreas entre otros). El pediatra requiere sospecharlo frente a un paciente con diarrea y compromiso del estado general y diagnosticarlo precozmente para evitar daño renal y disminuir la letalidad. Se describen también las medidas epidemiológicas para disminuir su incidencia.
