Abstract:
"Slow" codes are not conducted frequently, but even their limited use is controversial from an ethical point of view. Physicians and nurses may view the rationale for a "slow" code differently. A critical care nurse and a physician were interviewed regarding their experiences with and their views about "slow" codes.
