Abstract
|
|
|
|
Vulnerability population cannot protect their interest themselves. Vulnerability in emergency medicine is not different. We assume the factors that influence the patient’s course or patient’s outcome badly. We will discuss three factors of the vulnerability in emergency medicine. Those are the family without relational autonomy, the incompleteness of emergency subrogation payment system, and a lack of decision making capacity. We will describe theory, concepts, systems related factors and then apply them to our case. The factors are not independent. We discuss things to be made up for the autonomy and medical interest of the vulnerable patients that influenced by factors.
