Resumen
VELASCO SANZ, Tayra. Advance directives and informed consent in Intensive Care. Rev. Bioética y Derecho [online]. 2020, n.48, pp.41-59. Epub 11-Mayo-2020. ISSN 1886-5887.
Since its origin, Intensive Medicine and Bioethics have shared a common development, reinforcing each other. The limits of technology, the change in the clinical relationship, and respect for patients' preferences have generated different ethical conflicts between professionals, patients and family members. The objective of this article is to analyze how patients admitted to intensive care units can participate in decision-making about present (informed consent) or future (advance directives) actions and to identify the role of both the health professional and the family during the whole process.
Palabras clave : Informed consent; advanced directives; previous instructions; representative; intensive care; bioethics.
