Goals of care in the dark : guiding families of patients with “Covid-19 encephalopathy”

Article

FRYDMAN, Julia L.

Early in the COVID-19 pandemic, I got a call from an internal medicine resident for a new palliative care consult. The resident was at a loss; she did not know how to advise the patient's family about her prognosis. Should she place a feeding tube in this patient who, recovering from COVID-19, now could not wake up? [1er paragraphe]
