โœฆ Synopsis

In 1984, the pediatric neurosurgical community of the United States and Canada was polled regarding the status of hospital ethics committees (HEC) in their respective institutions. This study was repeated in 1990, and the data compared.

HECs are increasing in numbers. They are playing an increasing role in providing support for families, nurses and medical staff, setting hospital policy in areas of critical ethical decisionmaking, and in continuing education. More committees are participating in the decision to terminate life support and/or withdraw therapy. Committees continue to be dominated by physicians and nurses, although their profile is gradually broadening.
