journal contribution
posted on 2023-05-16, 11:30 authored by Day, RO, Donald ChalmersDonald Chalmers, Williams, KM, Campbell, TJA healthy 19-year-old United States college student volunteer in a clinical research program underwent a bronchoscopy and died as a result of acute lignocaine toxicity. The major contributing factor in the tragedy was that the research protocol failed to specify an upper dose limit for lignocaine spray, although previous versions of the protocol had done so. We look at the implications of this case for Australian institutional ethics committees.
