ETHICAL CHALLENGES IN TREATING CRITICAL CORONAVIRUS PATIENTS : EXPERIENCE FROM THE SHEBA MEDICAL CENTER ON THE FIRST COVID-19 PANDEMIC OUTBREAK
INTRODUCTION: As the coronavirus pandemic emerged in late 2019, a task force was founded in the Sheba Medical Center and began preparing for the arrival of the pandemic to Israel. Several wards were put in charge of isolated COVID-19 patients. A new intensive care unit was formed for the most critical COVID-19 patients, requiring mechanical ventilation and multi-organ treatment. The Corona ICU began operating in March 2020, with a multi-disciplinary team, gathered from ICU units, an internal medicine ward, an anesthesiology department, social workers and psychologists. Simultaneously, the routine medical center functions in non-corona sections were maintained, as much as possible. The coronavirus pandemic entails challenges of many aspects: an unfamiliar pathogen causing an unknown illness, a necessity for social distancing, ambiguity regarding the risk factors for contamination and illness severity, and medical crews put at risk. Consequently, the pandemic involves ethical, social, economic and moral aspects, affecting the medical crew members and system, the patients and their families, and our society as a whole. In this article we review our joint experience in the Sheba Medical Center Corona ICU, of the medical, ethical and moral dilemmas that emerged from the first COVID-19 wave.
