Zusammenfassung
Entscheidungen zur Therapiebegrenzung werden bei postoperativen Patienten seltener und später getroffen als bei internistischen. Verschiedene Aspekte gehen in die End-of-Life-Entscheidung bei postoperativen Patienten ein: Das Selbstverständnis des Chirurgen, die Prognose des Patienten, die Art der Operation und die Ausbildung und Diskussionskultur bei ethischen Fragen in den verschiedenen medizinischen Fächern. Diese Motive und Überlegungen müssen bei der Initiierung einer End-of-Life-Diskussion bei postoperativen Patienten bedacht und berücksichtigt werden.
Wenn der Patient eines Internisten stirbt, fragen seine Kollegen: „Was ist passiert?“ Wenn der Patient eines Chirurgen stirbt, fragen seine Kollegen: „Was hast Du getan?“ (Charles Bosk [ 1])
