Translated title:
Medical futility and ethical concerns in picu
Summary:
Nowadays there is increasing discussion about the concept of end-of-life decisions and limiting therapeutic intervention, especially when it is considered futile. The difficulty of setting objective criteria, which render a treatment futile, creates important dilemmas for medical and nursing ethics. The moral impasse is exacerbated when we refer specifically to pediatric patients.
