Abstract

The presentation of ethical guidelines by various scientific societies during the scenario of the COVID-19 pandemic in Spain is surprising when evidencing proposals for treatment and support due to "age ranges" that could be ethically unfair or at least not clearly understandable for the older group, unlike other guides such as the American and European Society for Critical Care and Intensive Medicine. Terms such as distributive justice, prioritization without paternalistic interference, introduction of strategies that maximize survival to hospital discharge, and the number of years of life saved are discussed during the presentation.The aim of this presentation is to clarify different ethical aspects about the elderly patients in the time of being admitted in the ICU during COVID-19 scenario.

Abstract

Anyone is at risk of contracting COVID-19 if exposed to the virus. Some people are more likely to become seriously ill than others, which means they may need hospitalization, intensive care, or respiratory support (respirator mask, high flow oxygen therapy, ventilators, etc.), and some may even die, mainly by severe respiratory failure. Those patients with asthma (moderate to severe), cardiovascular disease, cystic fibrosis, hypertension, immunosuppression, liver disease, pregnancy, smoker, thalassemia and diabetes (especially type 1) have a higher risk of getting sick and suffering the disease with more virulence and potential mortality. The older people are in risk because the chronical diseases and comorbidities are associate with the aging.This presentation aims to explain the mechanisms of infection and inflammation by the coronavirus in order to act primarily on them. If you know your enemy well, you can treat it from an etiopathogenic perspective.
