    Summary

    Trauma-informed ethics consultation (TIEC) may prioritize surrogate decision makers (SDMs) over patients in specific cases. However, this commentary questions the feasibility and ethical implications of TIEC when full disclosure is practiced.

    Area of Science:

    • Bioethics
    • Medical Ethics
    • Clinical Ethics

    Background:

    • Trauma-informed ethics consultation (TIEC) proposes prioritizing surrogate decision makers (SDMs) over patients in specific clinical scenarios.
    • These scenarios involve patients who are comatose, neurologically devastated, unable to express preferences, or lack advance directives.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To critically evaluate Autumn Fiester's tenets on trauma-informed ethics consultation (TIEC).
    • To explore the broader implications of TIEC for ethics consultation (EC) practices.
    • To examine the challenges of implementing genuine TIEC with full disclosure to patients and SDMs.

    Main Methods:

    • The commentary analyzes Fiester's argument regarding prioritizing SDMs' well-being over patients' in TIEC.
    • It offers reflections on the primary mission of ethics consultants (ECs).

  • It posits that full transparency in ECs' mission may impede effective TIEC.

    • Main Results:

    • Fiester's TIEC, as presented, narrowly construes situations where SDMs' trauma prevention overrides patient obligations.
    • The primary mission of ECs in gathering information and offering recommendations may be less robust than assumed.
    • Full disclosure of the ECs' mission can render genuine TIEC virtually impossible.

    Conclusions:

    • The commentary suggests a critical re-evaluation of the principles and practices of TIEC.
    • It highlights potential conflicts between the goals of TIEC and the practicalities of ethics consultation.
    • Further discussion is needed on how to ethically and effectively conduct TIEC while ensuring transparency.
