Summary

Modern intensive care medicine provokes multiple legal and ethical problems, which increasingly make it difficult to know who to admit to intensive care, and when, at what Stage invasive management should be withdrawn, and who, importantly, should decide. These profound dilemmas, already complicated in a setting of scarce resources, mandate an understanding of relevant laws and the legal aspects of intensive care medicine.
