Question:
The patient was intubated in the emergency
department. Further evaluation revealed an intracranial hemorrhage.
Neurosurgery believed intervention was not warranted. The patient was transferred
to the intensive care unit. A week later, she remains unconscious on the
ventilator, and it appears unlikely that she'll improve. The son (health care
agent) wants her to be extubated, but the daughter considers that murder and
argues against it. You attempt to get the siblings to reach consensus but are ultimately
unable to. What should be done?
