Summary

Patients with ethical issues in pediatric ICUs are similar to other patients, except for ventilator dependence. Goals of care were the most common ethical concern identified during interprofessional ethics rounds.

Area of Science:

  • Pediatric critical care medicine
  • Medical ethics
  • Health services research

Background:

  • Ethical issues frequently arise in pediatric intensive care units (PICUs), pediatric cardiothoracic ICUs (PCTUs), and neonatal ICUs (NICUs).
  • Understanding the demographics of patients involved in ethics consultations is crucial for targeted interventions.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To determine if sociodemographic differences exist between pediatric ICU patients with identified ethical issues and the general patient population.
  • To characterize the primary ethical issues encountered during interprofessional ethics rounds.

Main Methods:

  • A retrospective analysis compared 122 patients identified during ethics rounds with 4971 other patients in PICU, PCTU, and NICU from January 2017 to December 2018.
  • Statistical analyses included chi-squared tests, Fisher's exact tests, Mann-Whitney U tests, and multivariable logistic regression.

Main Results:

  • Bivariate analyses showed differences in race, insurance type, and ventilator dependence.
  • Multivariable analysis revealed that only ventilator dependence significantly increased the odds of being identified with ethical issues (OR = 5.78).
  • Goals of care was the most frequent ethical issue, accounting for 44% of cases.

Conclusions:

  • Demographics of pediatric ICU patients with ethical issues largely mirror the general patient population, with ventilator dependence being a key differentiator.
  • Further research is needed to explore the impact of proactive ethics rounds on consultation timing and volume.
