Par risques importants, on entend les risques significatifs qui présentent un réel danger pour la vie, la santé ou le bien-être du patient. Pour déterminer s'il existe un risque important, il faut évaluer la gravité des résultats éventuels, ainsi que leur probabilité. Même s'il n'y a que de faibles chances de traumatisme grave ou de décès, on pourra considérer qu'il s'agit d'un risque important; on pourra par ailleurs en venir à la même conclusion s'il existe des risques élevés d'un préjudice sans gravité. 2, record 1, French, - risque%20important
