Surrogate Decision

This chapter provides an overview of prognostication and key topics in ethics as they relate to the practice of neurocritical care. Challenges with prognostication are summarized. Outcome prognostication tools for ischemic stroke, intracerebral hemorrhage, subarachnoid hemorrhage, and traumatic brain injury are outlined along with a discussion of their limitations. Best practices for communicating prognosis are reviewed. Shared decision-making with surrogate decision-makers in intensive care units is discussed in detail, with attention to advance care planning documentation and resolution of situations in which clinicians may have conscientious objections to potentially inappropriate treatment.
