Care if in Terminal Condition

A terminal condition is an incurable injury or illness that will likely result in death within the near future. Additional medical treatment will only serve to postpone the moment of death.

Artificial life support is any life-prolonging procedure that helps to restore, replace, or maintain a spontaneous and vital bodily function. For example, assistance with maintaining breathing or blood pressure.

Life support does not include medical treatment performed in a pre-hospital situation or artificially administered food/water or pain relief.

Comfort care is treatment with the sole objective of relieving pain. It may lengthen or shorten a person's life and does not include artificially administered food and water.

CARE IF IN IRREVERSIBLE CONDITION

A irreversible condition means a condition, injury, or illness that may be treated but is never cured or eliminated; that leaves a person unable to care for or make decisions for the person's own self; and that is fatal without life-sustaining treatment provided in accordance with the prevailing standard of medical care.

Artificial life support is any life-prolonging procedure that helps to restore, replace, or maintain a spontaneous and vital bodily function. For example, assistance with maintaining breathing or blood pressure.

Life support does not include medical treatment performed in a pre-hospital situation or artificially administered food/water or pain relief.
