This volume explores the debate over medically futile treatment in the ICU, where the urgency to resolve it amounts yearly. Dr. Kelly presents an introduction to the arguments over medically futile treatment in the United States. Then, three fictitious patients arrive in turn at the ICU, each critically ill but with a different degree of promise. A panel of experienced critical care physicians from around the world offer their assessments and propose management based on resources they routinely have before describing what they would do with unlimited resources.
