Impact of the Life-Sustaining Treatment Decisions Act on End-of-Life Care in the Emergency Department
Listen to this summary
The authors aimed to evaluate the impact of the Life-Sustaining Treatment Decisions Act on end-of-life care practices in the emergency department in South Korea. Their findings indicate a significant decrease in the rates of invasive life-sustaining treatments, such as cardiopulmonary resuscitation and intubation, following the implementation of the Act, particularly among patients without advanced cancer, suggesting that the legislation has effectively facilitated goal-concordant care discussions.
