Ethics approval and consent to participate
: Patients with head injury and impaired consciousness may be unable to give properly informed consent. In emergency situations it may not be medically appropriate to delay the start of treatment until proxy consent can be obtained, doctors therefore took responsibility for entering their patients, just as they would take responsibility for choosing other treatments. However, the specific requirements of local research ethics committees were strictly adhered to at all times. Information leaflets about the study were provided for patients and their friends and relatives.
