ABSTRACT
INTRODUCTION:
We present a patient with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), dependent on noninvasive ventilation, whose advance directives precluded life-prolonging measures. The patient was found in cardiac arrest and in accordance with the directives of her surrogate decision maker, underwent intubation and mechanical ventilation. Later, an additional surrogate decision maker disapproved of ventilation and when the ventilator was disconnected for bronchial suctioning, she asked the nurse not to reconnect the patient to the ventilator. We discuss the legal, psychological and ethical aspects of implementation of Israeli law in this complex patient.
