By Martin Gäbler
In this book you will find answers to the following questions. What principles guide therapeutic decisions at the end of life? What are the medical-ethical foundations of such decisions and how did they come about? What are the special features of geriatric patients with chronic diseases, especially COPD? Which treatment options (intensive care, conservative or palliative) do doctors choose for a geriatric end-stage COPD patient with acute respiratory failure? A cross-sectional study of different disciplines shows clear differences in the initial therapy decision.
