Resumen
GARCIA-VILLARREAL, Ovidio A.. Professional medical liability, clinical practice guidelines and Lex Artis. The importance of following clinical practice guidelines recommendations. Gac. Méd. Méx [online]. 2022, vol.158, n.6, pp.439-443. Epub 20-Ene-2023. ISSN 2696-1288. https://doi.org/10.24875/gmm.22000118.
Professional medical liability is the result of medical malpractice, which may be due to negligence, incompetence or carelessness. Lex Artis is the set of skills and knowledge that have been universally accepted by peers, which must be diligently applied in the specific situation of a given patient. Thus, Lex Artis is essentially everything contained in clinical practice guidelines. Judicially speaking, the practice of medicine in Mexico is an obligation of means, but not of results. Therefore, adherence to clinical practice guidelines recommendations is the most effective way to defend oneself against a malpractice lawsuit.
