Grenzsituationen in der Intensivmedizin

Auszug

Entscheidungen in Grenzsituationen auf der Intensivstation drehen sich ganz überwiegend um die Frage, ob die Ausschöpfung aller intensivtherapeutischer Möglichkeiten weiter sinnvoll ist oder eine Begrenzung der Therapie erwogen werden soll. Da 95% der Intensivpatienten selbst nicht mehr entscheidungsfähig sind, weil sie zu krank oder sediert sind, werden Angehörige häufig zu den Wünschen und Wertvorstellungen des Patienten befragt. Während die Belastungen der Patienten durch ihren Intensivaufenthalt gut untersucht sind, sind das Erleben und die Verarbeitung des Erlebten auf Seite der Angehörigen erst seit kurzem in das Blickfeld wissenschaftlichen Interesses gerückt. Die Daten zeigen, dass es ganz wesentlich in der Hand der Behandelnden liegt, die Erfahrung »Intensivstation« zum Wohl oder Wehe der Angehörigen zu gestalten.
