Eight things we would never do regarding end-of-life care in the ICU

Article

ELY, E. Wesley | AZOULAY, Elie | SPRUNG, Charles L.

As intensivists from three distinct regions of the world with different cultural backgrounds, we believe it relevant in this rapidly emerging period of healthcare to share thoughts among clinicians providing end-of-life care in the intensive care unit (ICU). Intimate encounters with patients near the end of their lives form a foundational aspect of our vocation as intensivists. This article is our vision of eight top-tier concepts that should be embraced to usher in the best end-of-life care for all patients. We realize that not everyone will agree with these points and anticipate that our “eight things” will stimulate healthy discussion and debate.
