Value-Based Factors Contributing to End-of-Life Decision-Making in a Pediatric Intensive Care Unit
Psychosocial, ethical, and spiritual factors may impact a child's or family's decision to forego high-intensity care like CPR at the child's end of life. Providers should invite consideration of value-based factors when guiding family decision-making, which may be further facilitated by consulting PPC, patient advocacy, and/or ethics.
