Ventilator Allocation Protocols: Sophisticated Bioethics for an Unworkable Strategy
I was a member of the Massachusetts advisory working group that wrote the Commonwealth's crisis standards of care guidance for the Covid-19 pandemic, and I was proud of the work we did, thinking carefully about whether age should matter and whether priority should be given to essential workers...

520 | |a I was a member of the Massachusetts advisory working group that wrote the Commonwealth's crisis standards of care guidance for the Covid-19 pandemic, and I was proud of the work we did, thinking carefully about whether age should matter and whether priority should be given to essential workers if there was a scarcity of medical resources, about whether protocols should address issues of structural racism, and so forth. But as a critical care physician, I have concluded that, no matter how sophisticated the ethical analysis, the fundamental approach we proposed was flawed and virtually impossible to implement. All the existing allocation protocols that states developed are based on the assumption that clinicians will be faced with the task of selecting which patients will be offered a ventilator from among a population of patients who are each in need of one. The protocols then assign patients a priority category, and the protocols specify “tie-breaking” criteria to be used when necessary. The problem with this approach for ventilator allocation is that it has no relationship whatsoever to what happens in the real world. | ||
