When should patients at the end of life get antimicrobials?

Article indépendant

BOTON, Noah | LARNARD, Jeffrey

Although antimicrobial medications are commonly prescribed to patients at the end of life (EOL), clinicians might not discuss the benefits and harms of antimicrobials with their patients in the advance care planning process. This commentary on a case discusses challenges and strategies in antimicrobial decision making for patients at the EOL. As antimicrobial use can harm some patients, and as antimicrobial resistance remains an urgent public health issue, this article advocates for ethical reasoning to guide antimicrobial decision making for patients at the EOL.
