@namorrismd @NeurocritCareJ @MDNeurocritcare @neurocritical Thanks Nick! I found myself counseling families against this option, mainly because I had no idea how it would work. Learned a lot from this! For anyone interested in the highlights:
How should acute care neurologists counsel families about withdrawing life-sustaining treatment following a patient's hospitalization? Is it feasible? Ethical? Legal? @PennNeurology resident Aaron Williams explores in new @NeurocritCareJ paper. 🧵 1/6

With guidelines advising clinicians to wait longer before definitively concluding a poor prognosis after brain injury, D-WLST has become an increasingly relevant consideration. Read the paper to learn more about how to counsel families about this important option! 6/6
