Ethics Consultation in Anesthesia Practice
1Department of Anesthesiology, Yale University School of Medicine, 333 Cedar Street, TMP 3, PO Box 208051, New Haven, CT 06520-8051, USA.
Abstract:
Because modern surgical and medical care have advanced, patients increasingly present for procedural and surgical intervention with life-limiting diagnoses and/or advanced care goals such as "do not resuscitate." Anesthesiologists now care for these patients across the complete perioperative setting and frequently find themselves at the crossroads of these mounting pressures. As the boundaries and capabilities of anesthetic care and critical care anesthesiology expand so too do the specialty's needs for support in ethical decision-making. Herein, we review the role of the ethics consultation in anesthesia practice and special ethic issues encountered by the anesthesiologist.
