Do-not-attempt-cardiopulmonary resuscitation decisions in critical care: The gap between theory and practice.
The provision or withholding of Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation (CPR) is often a source of much controversy. Do-Not-Attempt CPR (DNACPR) decisions have been discussed extensively from an ethical and legal point, not to mention featuring heavily in the news. We aim to discuss various aspects of DNACPR decision-making with particular relevance to the Intensive Care environment. In doing so, we highlight important concepts associated with decision-making and common challenges encountered. Firstly, we provide a broad oversight of the current context in which such decisions are made before describing the principal ethical points of consideration and their relevance. This is followed by insights from a legal point as well as practical suggestions for approaching such decisions. It is hoped that these will help to assist clinicians with making such complex decisions under challenging circumstances.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of the Intensive Care Society (JICS) is an international, peer-reviewed journal that strives to disseminate clinically and scientifically relevant peer-reviewed research, evaluation, experience and opinion to all staff working in the field of intensive care medicine. Our aim is to inform clinicians on the provision of best practice and provide direction for innovative scientific research in what is one of the broadest and most multi-disciplinary healthcare specialties. While original articles and systematic reviews lie at the heart of the Journal, we also value and recognise the need for opinion articles, case reports and correspondence to guide clinically and scientifically important areas in which conclusive evidence is lacking. The style of the Journal is based on its founding mission statement to ‘instruct, inform and entertain by encompassing the best aspects of both tabloid and broadsheet''.
