Abstract
Too often, physicians, patients, and families make end-of-life care decisions despite poor physician-patient communication and misunderstanding by the patient and family about the effectiveness of cardiopulmonary resuscitation. We describe an approach to resolving conflict and reaching consensus on end-of-life care. This approach supports physician judgment to withhold futile treatment within the constraints of law and patient autonomy.
