An audit of treatment withdrawal in one hundred patients on a general ICU.

M Mercer1, R Winter, S Dennis, C Smith.   

Abstract

The audit found that 72.6% of patients who died had treatment withdrawn. Three organ failures were most often present in patients when treatment was withdrawn. Withdrawal of treatment did not mean the cessation of care. Variation in involvement was demonstrated with different consultants.
