how long is a surgical consent good for
Jun 12, '07 by uptoRNin04. A surgical consent should only be good for the date written on it, hence, 24 hours. As long as it is dated, and it should be, it is only good for that date. A delay in surgery would mean a different consent form.op. 0 We are a JACHO facuilty and are medical records dept is telling us that surgical consents are only good for 24 hours. I have been an RNC for 25 years and know that is not true, but can't find anything to support it.
