Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Most bioethicists condemn the practice of "slow codes”, which refers half-hearted or submaximal attempt at resuscitation. Nevertheless, some complain that the slow code should be allowed for the satisfaction of the family. Therefore, we conducted the survey for current condition of the slow code and physicians’ concerning. There were only 3% answered that the slow code must not be performed, while almost all physicians allowed and accepted it. Moreover, 16% answered that it was a good practice to perform, when considering sentiment of the patient family. On the contrary to the ethical textbook, most of physicians accept the "Slow code".
