Coronavirus Conversations: Rationing, Shortages, and Triage: Pandemics and Medical Decision Making

April 13, 2020 -
12:30pm to 1:30pm

Abstract: As updates pour in from the hardest hit areas in New York, Detroit, and across Europe the news is filled with stories of respirator shortages, inadequate PPE, and a coming peak that will stretch medical resources even further. In times like these doctors, nurses, and administrators are being forced to make tough decisions. When supplies run out, medical personnel must make difficult decisions to decide who will receive what treatment and how that treatment should be rationed. This installment of Duke University’s Coronavirus Conversations will discuss critical care decisions and how tough choices are being made daily in hospitals everywhere.
