  • To discuss specific ethical issues encountered by anesthesiologists.

Main Methods:

  • Literature review on ethics consultation in anesthesiology.
  • Analysis of ethical dilemmas in perioperative care for patients with advanced conditions.

Main Results:

  • Ethics consultations provide crucial support for anesthesiologists facing complex ethical dilemmas.
  • Anesthesiologists encounter unique ethical challenges related to patient autonomy, goals of care, and end-of-life issues.

Conclusions:

  • Integrating ethics consultation into anesthesia practice is essential.
  • Enhanced support for ethical decision-making is needed as anesthetic care expands.
