ForwardConversations in Ethics: Ethical Challenges Related to Therapeutic Hypothermia and Discussions about Prognosis
Studies have shown that therapeutic hypothermia, also known as Targeted Temperature Management (TTM), has proven beneficial by improving outcomes in unconscious survivors of out-of-hospital cardiac arrest. While administering this therapy it is difficult for clinicians to provide clear prognostication to families; in fact, determination of neurological prognosis is unreliable before at least 72 hours post-rewarming. The clinician’s prognosis for survival, awakening from coma, or future quality of life can strongly influence decisions regarding the continuation of life-sustaining treatments. This poses ethical challenges for clinicians.
Please join us as Dr. Eduardo Martinez-Dubouchet, M.D., discusses the Ethical Challenges Related to Therapeutic Hypothermia and Discussions About Prognosis.
