A moment for reflection. Ethical aspects in the pandemic SARS-CoV-2/COVID-19 in our clinical practice

The entire world has suffered the devastating action of the SARS-CoV-2/COVID-19 pandemic. This is the ideal moment to stop and ask ourselves what happened and how we acted; to reflect on what we have learned not only for similar situations but for all of our clinical practice. This work is an ethical reflection via the clinical experience of professionals dedicated to the care of critical patients in one of the countries most affected by the SARS-CoV-2/COVID-19 pandemic in the world. Some of the moral values and categories involved in decision-making in situations of limited resources are analysed, and the need for bioethics to be a part of daily practice is proposed, along with some strategies for doing so, thus facilitating decision-making by the health professional and fair and appropriate care for the patient in situations of particular vulnerability such as those experienced in this health and social crisis.
