“…Die Entscheidung, einen Wiederbelebungsversuch nicht zu beginnen, bedarf nicht der Zustimmung des Patienten oder der ihm Nahestehenden, weil sie häufig unrealistische Erwartungen über Erfolgsaussichten haben [979,980].

The 2015 advanced life support guidelines: a summary and evidence for the updates

The International Liaison Committee on Resuscitation recently released updated 2015 recommendations for resuscitation. The guidelines form the basis for all levels of resuscitation training, now from first aid to advanced life support (ALS), and for trainees of varying medical skills, from schoolchildren to medical students and consultants. We highlight major updates relating to intra-arrest and postarrest care, and the evidence for their recommendation. We also summarise areas of uncertainty in the evidence for ALS, and highlight current discussions that will likely inform the next round of recommendations.

Resuscitation decisions at the end of life: medical views and the juridification of practice

et al. 2018

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

This paper provides unique insights into how doctors respond to the changing medico-legal culture and the subsequent effects on patient care. It demonstrates how the juridification of medical practice can occur. It highlights the potential benefit of a structure to support clinicians, patients and relatives in discussing and navigating decisions around care at the end of life in line with the patient's wishes and preferences. Recommendations for future research are made and legal ramifications are discussed.
