Resuscitation, yes or no ? the criteria for transferring patients with hematological malignancies to intensive care. A qualitative study
Organizational convenience of transfer to intensive care was the main criterion for hematologists, but emotional attachment favored futile obstinacy, doing everything possible to the detriment of the patient's comfort. It would be useful to make an upstream appraisal of the impact that an early evaluation of the level of care of patients with hematological malignancies could have on reducing deaths in intensive care.
