5. Study Description

Brief Summary
There is evidence to suggest that patients make different end-of-life decisions if they understand the risks, benefits and alternatives of CPR and mechanical ventilation. This study will examine whether evidence-based informed consent impacts patients choices and healthcare outcomes compared to routine care.
