Death Clinical Trial
Official title:
The Impact of Instituting a Law for Advance Directives on End-of-life Decision Making in Intensive Care Medicine in Germany
Description of the decision making process as well as the practices of end of life care in an ICU of a German university hospital during the period when changes of German legislation occurred.
Most patients on the intensive care unit (ICU) die after an end-of-life decision (EOLD) has
been made (Sprung et al. 2003). On September 1st 2009 the "advance-directives-law" was
inured in Germany considering a written advance directive of an adult binding for physicians
and the patient´s surrogate decision makers if it fits into the medical context (BGBL 2009).
There is a lack of data describing the process and the factors associated with
end-of-life-decisions in ICUs in Germany in detail.
The purpose of this observational study is to describe the decision making process as well
as the practices of end of life care in an ICU of a German university hospital during a
period when changes of German legislation occurred.
