Introduction: Much has been written on the refusal of blood transfusions by Jehovah's Witnesses. In the "Manuel Fajardo" Hospital have been attended many patients of that group. For providing better care for Jehovah's Witnesses, a team of anesthesiologists and surgeons was established. For that aim, the members of the team have updated medical and bioethical knowledge. The implementation of informed consent has been very helpful in our service since 2002. Aims: To acquire greater knowledge of informed consent and of the Jehovah's Witnesses patients and to review the implementation of current bioethical and legal concepts on autonomy and informed concepts on daily anesthesiological practice. Conclusions: Informed consent is essential in the medical practice; the patient can't solicit receive a blood transfusion, but when damage occur the physician have penal responsibility
