Duality of roles and the provision of high-quality end-of-life care in the intensive care

Just like donation physicians, clinician researchers or clinician educators, for example, may be involved in offering patients (or their substitute decision-makers) opportunities to participate in activities or interventions that are primarily for the benefit of others, e.g. participation in clinical trials, or that may increase risks or burdens of care for the patient in order to benefit others, e.g. permitting clinicians in training to perform necessary procedures. [...]as we argued, donation physicians' primary duty is “always to provide high quality EOL care in accordance with the patient's values and preferences when known, or in their best interests when they are unknown. [...]we recommended several strategies to help manage actual, potential or perceived conflicts of interest in this context [2].
