Three Patients: International Perspective on Intensive Care at the End of Life de David W. Crippen

Three Patients: International Perspective on Intensive Care at the End of Life

Editat de David W. Crippen, Jack K. Kilcullen, David F. Kelly
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 6 dec 2012
This volume explores how the scarce resources of intensive care units should be distributed. Three hypothetical patients, each with a different chance of survival, desire intensive care. A multinational panel of experienced critical care physicians offers assessments of the patients' conditions and outlines approaches to treatment. These approaches are then examined by academic medical experts and a medical ethicist, as well as from a legal perspective. The result is a well-rounded and introspective look at care for critically ill patients at or near the end of life.
