Artículo en Coreano | WPRIM | ID: wpr-32201
ABSTRACT
There has been a controversy in Korea regarding a 'death with dignity' in comparison to a 'natural death'. However, the issue of patient autonomy is often overlooked. Decision on withholding or withdrawing life-sustaining treatment should be based on the patients' selfdetermination, prefereably in the form of advance directives. Consensus developed by the National Evidence -based Healthcare Collaborating Agency is as follows (1) a doctor should offer a detailed explanation to patients, including about hospice-palliative care and advance directives, (2) when a terminally ill patient expresses reluctance regarding cardiopulmonary resuscitation or an artificial respirator in advance, such medical actions can be removed, with basic nutrition supply and pain control maintained. However, more discussions should be made in the case of a patient in "persistent vegetative state".
