Résumé
In 1992, the American Society of Anesthesiologists Committee on Ethics was formed primarily to address the rights of patients with existing Do-Not-Resuscitate orders presenting for anesthesia. Guidelines written for the ethical management of these patients stated that such orders should be reconsidered-not rescinded-thus respecting patient self-determination. The Committee also rewrote the reigning Guidelines for the Ethical Practice of Anesthesiology by expanding its ethical foundations to reflect the evolving climate of ethical opinions. These Guidelines described ethically appropriate conduct and behavior, including anesthesiologists' ethical responsibilities to patients, themselves, colleagues, health-care institutions, and community and society.
