(autonomy) If the patient’s wishes are unknown, then the surrogate should advocate for the patient’s best interests (beneficence) Many surrogates are unaware of the patient’s preferences Covinsky et al found that a surrogate’s understanding of the patient’s preference for cardiopulmonary resuscitation was only moderately better than chance [21] There is often a disconnect between surrogate expectations and what medical care can realistically provide [22], leading to the potential of nonbeneficial surgery or treatment In reality, surrogates also consider other factors such as their own preferences, interests, emotions, experiences, and religious beliefs in making decisions regarding the patient’s health care [23] Ideally the patient has chosen a potential surrogate in advance In the absence of a designated surrogate, laws vary from state to state in terms of who can serve in this role; but, in general, the order is the spouse, adult children, parents, siblings, and other relatives All states recognize a pre- identified surrogate or legal guardian to make decisions about life-sustaining treatment; however some states limit their authority by medical precondition requirements or need for a witness when a surrogate consents to forego treatment [24] Do Not Resuscitate Based on the ethical principle of autonomy, patients and their surrogates have the right to refuse any medical procedure or treatment as long as they are deemed competent, have been adequately informed, and are not coerced into making the decision Physicians should not allow their personal value judgments to obstruct implementation of the refusal A patient’s refusal of medical procedures may involve either withholding or withdrawing treatment This can also include refusing cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) A Do Not Resuscitate (“DNR”) order refers to the withholding of CPR which generally includes the withholding of chest compressions, defibrillation, intubation, and pharmacologic interventions to stimulate the heart Based on television’s depictions of CPR, the general public has an unrealistic view of patient survival believing that three-quarters of patients survive CPR [25] Unfortunately in reality, less than 20 % of patients survive CPR, and 10–44 % of those patients who survive have permanent neurologic impairment CPR was never intended for use in patients dying an expected death from a chronic, fatal medical illness, and a physician is under no obligation to perform CPR when it is futile or contraindicated Some patients with a Do Not Resuscitate order become candidates for surgery Many of these procedures, such as treating intestinal obstruction in patients with advanced malignancy or traumatic injuries, fall into the purview of the 449 acute care surgeon When they undergo surgery, they are subject to potentially correctable risks of cardiopulmonary arrest In addition, many of the medications and procedures used as an integral part of routine anesthesia management are employed in resuscitation (intubation, vasoactive medications) The American College of Surgeons “Statement on Advance Directives by Patients: “Do Not Resuscitate” in the Operating Room” recommends a policy of required reconsideration of the existing DNR orders [26] Required reconsideration means that the patient or their surrogate and the physicians who will be responsible for the patient’s care should discuss the intraoperative and perioperative risks associated with the surgical procedure, the patient’s treatment goals, and an approach that is consistent with the patient’s goals of care The patient or surrogate may agree to suspend the DNR order during surgery and the perioperative period, retain the DNR order, or modify the DNR order Once a decision is reached on the patient’s DNR status following the required reconsideration conversation, the surgeon must document and convey the patient’s advance directive and DNR status to the other members of the operative team, help the operative team members understand and interpret the patient’s advance care directive, and if necessary find an alternate operative team member to replace any individual who has an ethical or professional conflict with the patient’s advance directive instructions Policies that lead to the automatic enforcement of all DNR orders or to disregard or automatically cancel such orders not respect the patient’s autonomy Futility In medicine, interventions that are unlikely to produce any significant benefit for the patient are defined as futile Futility does not apply to treatments globally (“it is futile to continue to treat this patient”) but only to a single intervention in a specific patient at a particular time (“CPR would be medically futile for this patient”) Although the definition of futility appears simple, it is actually quite complex There is no consensus or guideline to determine futility Maerz et al describe a futility concept using the effect-benefit principle [27] An effect of an intervention is limited to a specific portion of a patient’s body, whereas benefit improves the person as a whole Futile care defines treatment that does not provide benefit to the patient whether it produces its desired effect or not Quantitative medical futility is goal directed If surgery or the treatment cannot meet the accepted therapeutic goal, then it is deemed to be futile Qualitative medical futility is whether the surgery or intervention can meet the patient’s goals of care; if not, it is deemed futile It is because of uncertainty of prognosis or outcome and lack of knowledge 450 of the patient’s goals of care that make determining futility difficult This becomes even more challenging when the patient is unable to communicate and surrogates are either not available or unsure of the patient’s wishes An algorithmic approach to futility has been described by McCullough [28] Step is physiological futility Will the clinical intervention produce its usually intended physiologic effect? If no, then it is physiologically futile Step asks whether the clinical intervention produces clinical benefit enabling the patient to interact with the environment and develop as a human being If no, it is considered clinically futile Step asks whether the patient will die without regaining consciousness before discharge If the answer is yes, it is further clinical futility Step asks whether the intervention will be physiologically and clinically effective, but with significant risk of disease-related or iatrogenic morbidity, loss of function, and unacceptable quality of life If the answer is no, then the criteria for qualitative futility are met Medical care has reached a point where in our attempt to preserve life, we are often only prolonging dying The American Medical Association states in the Code of Medical Ethics that “physicians are not ethically obligated to deliver care that, in their best professional judgment, will not have a reasonable chance of benefiting their patients” [2] This must be discussed with the patient or surrogate, providing a frank explanation of why a particular intervention is not beneficial It must also be emphasized that medical care is never futile but that specific therapies that not advance goals of care are futile C.S Cocanour and K.S Romanowski Summary • Ethics in Western medicine is governed by four basic principles: non-maleficence, beneficence, autonomy, and justice Acutely ill and injured elderly patients often present ethical challenges to the physician as they attempt to balance conflicting ethical priorities • The principle of double effect often occurs in the geriatric trauma population In attempting to restore the patient to their previous functional status (beneficence), the patient may incur pain, suffering, and even complications that cause death (maleficence) • The utilization of scarce resources and access to care are major challenges that may face elderly trauma patients • The rules of confidentiality are the same for the elderly trauma patient as they are for other patients We cannot break confidentiality simply because of their age • Elderly patients should be encouraged to participate in the informed consent process unless they lack decision- making capacity In cases where they lack capacity, the informed consent process can be driven either by the patient’s advanced directives or by surrogate decision makers • Specific treatments may be deemed futile by the medical team a patient or their surrogate, but medical care and dignity of the patient are never futile References Conclusion Caring for the injured or acutely ill elderly patient is challenging The increasing presence of dementia, frailty, and aging of physiologic systems increases the vulnerability of this population The treatment of these patients must take into account all four of the basic ethical principles: beneficence, non-maleficence, autonomy, and justice The principle of double effect dictates that if a planned procedure is done with the intention of providing benefit to the patient, then the potential of undesirable effects is acceptable Communication in times of acute illness or injury is fraught with many pitfalls Shared decision making allows active patient involvement, respecting the patient’s autonomy Older adults should be considered capable of making health-care decisions despite age or frailty The information provided during consent must be at the appropriate level of understanding for each patient In the acute illness or injury, advance directives and involvement of the patient’s surrogate can help the physician navigate patient and family through an emotional and potentially devastating time Physicians must assure their patient and surrogate that even if a specific treatment or procedure is deemed futile, medical care is never futile 1 Percival T Medical ethics; or, a code of institutes and precepts, adapted to the professional conduct of physicians and surgeons Manchester, England, J Johnson, 1803 American Medical Association Code of medical ethics of the American Medical Association council on ethical and judicial affairs Chicago: American Medical Association; 2006 Sirois MJ, Griffith L, Perry J, Daoust R, Veillette N, Lee J, et al Measuring frailty can help emergency departments identify independent seniors at risk of functional decline after minor injuries J Gerontol A Biol Sci Med Sci 2015;pii:glv152 [Epub ahead of print] Doyal L Surgical ethics In: Williams NS, Bullstrode CJK, O’Connell PR, editors Bailey and love’s short practice of surgery London: Hodder Arnold 2008 p.119–125 Grossman MD, Miller D, Scaff DW, Arcona S.
