The surging COVID-19 pandemic has raised ethical and moral dilemmas that Western
nations with first-rate medical care facilities rarely confront?how to best
allocate standard life-saving medical resources when escalating demand outstrips
supply. Sadly, these quandaries are familiar challenges in resource-poor
countries. What makes this pandemic notable is that the scope and number of
reported cases have been primarily in First World nations, raising questions in
some settings about the use of emergency treatments like resuscitation care for
in-hospital cardiac arrest (IHCA). This perspective reviews the debate around
these ethical and moral dilemmas more broadly but focuses specifically on IHCA
and the response of the medical community.
