Compliance by health personnel or proxies with the stipulations of ADVANCE DIRECTIVES (or similar directives such as RESUSCITATION ORDERS) when patients are unable to direct their own care.

Written, witnessed declarations in which persons request that if they become disabled beyond reasonable expectation of recovery, they be allowed to die rather than be kept alive by extraordinary means. (Bioethics Thesaurus)

Withholding or withdrawal of a particular treatment or treatments, often (but not necessarily) life-prolonging treatment, from a patient or from a research subject as part of a research protocol. The concept is differentiated from REFUSAL TO TREAT, where the emphasis is on the health professional's or health facility's refusal to treat a patient or group of patients when the patient or the patient's representative requests treatment. Withholding of life-prolonging treatment is usually indexed only with EUTHANASIA, PASSIVE, unless the distinction between withholding and withdrawing treatment, or the issue of withholding palliative rather than curative treatment, is discussed.

The purpose of this 1990 federal act is to assure that individuals receiving health care services will be given an opportunity to participate in and direct health care decisions affecting themselves. Under this act, hospitals, health care agencies, and health maintenance organizations are responsible for developing patient information for distribution. The information must include patients' rights, advance directives, living wills, ethics committees' consultation and education functions, limited medical treatment (support/comfort care only), mental health treatment, resuscitation, restraints, surrogate decision making and transfer of care.

Individual's expression of desirability or value of one course of action, outcome, or selection in contrast to others.

Guideline for determining when it is morally permissible to perform an action to pursue a good end with knowledge that the action will also bring about bad results. It generally states that, in cases where a contemplated action has such double effect, the action is permissible only if: it is not wrong in itself; the bad result is not intended; the good result is not a direct causal result of the bad result; and the good result is "proportionate to" the bad result.

Incorporating advance care planning into family practice [see comment]. (1/306)

Despite widespread support for the concept of advance care planning, few Americans have a living will or a health care proxy. Advance care planning offers the patient the opportunity to have an ongoing dialog with his or her relatives and family physician regarding choices for care at the end of life. Ultimately, advance care planning is designed to clarify the patient's questions, fears and values, and thus improve the patient's well-being by reducing the frequency and magnitude of overtreatment and undertreatment as defined by the patient. An advance directive consists of oral and written instructions about a person's future medical care in the event he or she becomes unable to communicate. There are two types of advance directives: a living will and a health care power of attorney. Family physicians are in an ideal position to discuss advance care plans with their patients. By introducing the subject during a routine office visit, physicians can facilitate a structured discussion of the patient's wishes for end-of-life care. At the next visit, further discussion can include the patient and his or her proxy. A document that clearly delineates the patient's wishes is then developed. The patient should be assured that the directive can be changed at any time according to the patient's wishes. The advance care plan should be reviewed periodically to make sure the specifications continue to be in line with the patient's wishes. (+info)

Relationships between various attitudes towards self-determination in health care with special reference to an advance directive. (2/306)

OBJECTIVES: The subject of patient self-determination in health care has gained broad interest because of the increasing number of incompetent patients. In an attempt to solve the problems related to doctors' decision making in such circumstances, advance directives have been developed. The purpose of this study was to examine relationships between public attitudes towards patient autonomy and advance directives. SUBJECTS AND MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: A stratified random sample of 600 adults in northern Sweden was surveyed by a questionnaire with a response rate of 78.2%. The subjects were asked about their wish for control of their health care, their concerns about health care, their treatment preferences in a life-threatening situation (both reversible and irreversible), and their attitudes towards the application of advance directives. RESULTS: Numerous relationships between various aspects of self-determination in health care (desire for control, fears of over-treatment, and choice of treatment level) in general and advance directives, in particular, were found. Those who wanted to have a say in their health care (about 94%) also mainly supported the use of an advance directive. CONCLUSIONS: The fact that almost 30% of the respondents were undecided concerning their personal use of advance directives points to a lack of knowledge and to the necessity of education of the public on these issues.

Advance directives are the solution to Dr Campbell's problem for voluntary euthanasia. (3/306)

Dr Neil Campbell suggests that when patients suffering extremes of protracted pain ask for help to end their lives, their requests should be discounted as made under compulsion. I contend that the doctors concerned should be referred to and then act upon advance directives made by those patients when of sound and calm mind and afflicted by no such intolerable compulsion.

A staff dialogue on do not resuscitate orders: psychosocial issues faced by patients, their families, and caregivers. (4/306)

Shortly before his death in 1995, Kenneth B. Schwartz, a cancer patient at Massachusetts General Hospital (MGH), founded The Kenneth B. Schwartz Center at MGH. The Schwartz Center is a non-profit organization dedicated to supporting and advancing compassionate health care delivery which provides hope to the patient, support to caregivers, and encourages the healing process. The Center sponsors the Schwartz Center Rounds, a monthly multidisciplinary forum where caregivers reflect on important psychosocial issues faced by patients, their families, and their caregivers, and gain insight and support from fellow staff members. The following case of a woman who developed lymphoma was discussed at the July and August, 1997 Schwartz Center Rounds. There were considerable delays and uncertainties in the diagnosis, which was followed by an unpredictably chaotic clinical course. Although she had made it clear to her doctor that she did not want "heroic measures," she had unexpectedly rallied so many times that her son and her husband wanted her doctors to do everything possible to keep her alive, including the performance of cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR). The clinical benefit of CPR in the event of cardiac arrest in those with cancer is discussed, as are do not resuscitate (DNR) orders, living wills, and healthcare proxies. In addition, the issues that surround DNR status, including who should discuss DNR status with a patient, and how and when it should be discussed, are reviewed. Staff raised concerns about the effect of discussing DNR status on the doctor-patient relationship, and wondered whether writing DNR orders adversely affect the care of patients. (+info)

Bone marrow transplant patients with life-threatening organ failure: when should treatment stop? (5/306)

PURPOSE: To discuss issues surrounding life support in bone marrow transplant (BMT) patients, issues that may determine how far we go to keep a deteriorating BMT patient alive--and when we stop trying. How can we define survival chance in BMT patients, and when should prolongation of life be deemed inappropriate? Who should make the decision to terminate support? And how should life support be terminated? DESIGN: Prognostic factors that predict for almost certain nonsurvival have been identified in BMT patients with life-threatening organ failure. The concept of futility raises the question of how low the chance of survival must be before termination of life support is justified--but the concept is flawed, and the value judgments involved in decision making must also be considered. Then, once a decision is made, the manner of withholding or withdrawing life support is also open to discussion. CONCLUSION: Despite controversies, there are areas in which improvements to current practice might be considered. More data are required to determine survival chances of BMT patients with life-threatening organ failure. Greater attention might be devoted, in pretransplant counseling, to issues of intensive life support, with the patient's own views being ascertained before transplantation. And, because technologic possibilities are now imposing fewer boundaries, the problem of finite resources may need to be readdressed, with treatment limits being set down before transplantation.

Family consent, communication, and advance directives for cancer disclosure: a Japanese case and discussion. (6/306)

The dilemma of whether and how to disclose a diagnosis of cancer or of any other terminal illness continues to be a subject of worldwide interest. We present the case of a 62-year-old Japanese woman afflicted with advanced gall bladder cancer who had previously expressed a preference not to be told a diagnosis of cancer. The treating physician revealed the diagnosis to the family first, and then told the patient: "You don't have any cancer yet, but if we don't treat you, it will progress to a cancer". In our analysis, we examine the role of family consent, communication patterns (including ambiguous disclosure), and advance directives for cancer disclosure in Japan. Finally, we explore the implications for Edmund Pellegrino's proposal of "something close to autonomy" as a universal good. (+info)

Survey of Japanese physicians' attitudes towards the care of adult patients in persistent vegetative state. (7/306)

OBJECTIVES: Ethical issues have recently been raised regarding the appropriate care of patients in persistent vegetative state (PVS) in Japan. The purpose of our study is to study the attitudes and beliefs of Japanese physicians who have experience caring for patients in PVS. DESIGN AND SETTING: A postal questionnaire was sent to all 317 representative members of the Japan Society of Apoplexy working at university hospitals or designated teaching hospitals by the Ministry of Health and Welfare. The questionnaire asked subjects what they would recommend for three hypothetical vignettes that varied with respect to a PVS patient's previous wishes and the wishes of the family. RESULTS: The response rate was 65%. In the case of a PVS patient who had no previous expressed wishes and no family, 3% of the respondents would withdraw artificial nutrition and hydration (ANH) when the patient did not require any other life-sustaining treatments, 4% would discontinue ANH, and 30% would withhold antibiotics when the patient developed pneumonia. Significantly more respondents (17%) would withdraw ANH in the case of a PVS patient whose previous wishes and family agreed that all life support be discontinued. Most respondents thought that a patient's written advance directives would influence their decisions. Forty per cent of the respondents would want to have ANH stopped and 31% would not want antibiotics administered if they were in PVS. CONCLUSIONS: Japanese physicians tend not to withdraw ANH from PVS patients. Patients' written advance directives, however, would affect their decisions. (+info)

A multimedia intervention on cardiopulmonary resuscitation and advance directives. (8/306)

OBJECTIVE: To assess the effects of a multimedia educational intervention about advance directives (ADs) and cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) on the knowledge, attitude and activity toward ADs and life-sustaining treatments of elderly veterans. DESIGN: Prospective randomized controlled, single blind study of educational interventions. SETTING: General medicine clinic of a university-affiliated Veterans Affairs Medical Center (VAMC). PARTICIPANTS: One hundred seventeen Veterans, 70 years of age or older, deemed able to make medical care decisions. INTERVENTION: The control group (n = 55) received a handout about ADs in use at the VAMC. The experimental group (n = 62) received the same handout, with an additional handout describing procedural aspects and outcomes of CPR, and they watched a videotape about ADs. MEASUREMENTS AND MAIN RESULTS: Patients' attitudes and actions toward ADs, CPR and life-sustaining treatments were recorded before the intervention, after it, and 2 to 4 weeks after the intervention through self-administered questionnaires. Only 27.8% of subjects stated that they knew what an AD is in the preintervention questionnaire. This proportion improved in both the experimental and control (87.2% experimental, 52.5% control) subject groups, but stated knowledge of what an AD is was higher in the experimental group (odds ratio = 6.18, p <.001) and this effect, although diminished, persisted in the follow-up questionnaire (OR = 3.92, p =. 003). Prior to any intervention, 15% of subjects correctly estimated the likelihood of survival after CPR. This improved after the intervention in the experimental group (OR = 4.27, p =.004), but did not persist at follow-up. In the postintervention questionnaire, few subjects in either group stated that they discussed CPR or ADs with their physician on that day (OR = 0.97, p = NS). CONCLUSION: We developed a convenient means of educating elderly male patients regarding CPR and advance directives that improved short-term knowledge but did not stimulate advance care planning. (+info)

The diagnosis of PVS is made by a team of healthcare professionals, including neurosurgeons, neurologists, and rehabilitation specialists. The diagnosis is based on a combination of clinical examination and medical imaging studies, such as electroencephalograms (EEGs) and functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI).

There are three main criteria for diagnosing PVS:

1. Lack of awareness: The patient is unable to open their eyes or respond purposefully to stimuli.
2. Lack of purposeful movement: The patient is unable to move voluntarily, except for possibly some reflex movements.
3. Abnormal sleep-wake cycle: The patient exhibits a persistent vegetative state sleep-wake cycle, characterized by periods of sleep and wakefulness that are not consistent with normal sleep patterns.

Treatment for PVS is focused on supporting the patient's basic needs, such as breathing and nutrition, and managing any underlying medical conditions. However, there is no cure for PVS, and the condition is often permanent. Some patients may eventually recover some cognitive and behavioral functions over time, but many will remain in a state of persistent vegetative state for the rest of their lives.

In summary, the definition of persistent vegetative state (PVS) in the medical field refers to a severe loss of cognitive and behavioral function, resulting from traumatic brain injury or other causes, characterized by a lack of awareness, purposeful movement, and abnormal sleep-wake cycle. The diagnosis is made by a team of healthcare professionals, and treatment focuses on supporting the patient's basic needs and managing any underlying medical conditions.
