Ethics Colloquium: The Ethics of Extraordinary Care (E)
Session Description
This session has been identified and designated as Credit to Address Regulatory Mandate for Ethics. Learn more about state regulatory mandates.
The Ethics Colloquium will explore the challenges surgeons face in the setting of rapid innovations in care. We will consider examples of extraordinary care including extra corporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO), uterine transplant, Hyperthermic Intraperitoneal Chemotherapy (HIPEC), and fetal surgery to examine how these treatments affect patients, families, surgeons, and the health care system. We will use case-based learning to evaluate important ethical dilemmas raised by these remarkable innovations: 1. How to best respect patient autonomy for treatments that have high burdens, both for patients with life-limiting illness, and those who are not actually sick; 2. What are the surgeon’s obligations to provide extraordinary care?; 3. How best to provide stewardship of health care resources; and 4. Are standards required to protect the just distribution of extraordinary care?
Moderator: Catherine J. Hunter, MD, FACS, Chicago, IL
Co-Moderator: Eric A. Singer, MD, FACS, New Brunswick, NJ
