Triage protocols outline who gets care — and who doesn’t — if COVID-19 overwhelms hospitals
Some Canadian hospitals have been issued triage protocols that outline who gets care, and who doesn't, if COVID-19 overwhelms available resources and there are no more ICU beds available. We discuss the issue with Dr. Paul Warshawsky, chief of adult critical care at Jewish General Hospital in Montreal, and Dr. Eugene Bereza, a physician and ethicist with the Centre for Applied Ethics at the McGill University Health Centre.
