AB  - Death  is  common  in  the  intensive  care  unit  (ICU),  with  approximately  20%  of  deaths  in  the  United  States  occurring  during  or  shortly  after  a  stay  in  an  ICU.1  Many  of  these  deaths  involve  the  withholding  or  withdrawal  of  life-sustaining  therapy,  with  considerable  site  variability.2,3  Therefore,  the  ICU  represents  a  particularly  distinct  clinical  setting  where  the  thoughtful  and  considered  application  of  ethical  concepts  is  required.  A  proper  understanding  of  the  basic  principles  of  bioethics  as  well  as  the  principles  of  providing  comfort-focused,  end-of-life  care  are  essential  elements  in  the  competent  practice  of  intensive  care  medicine.
