ScholarBank@NUS Repository. https://doi.org/10.1177/2010105820947439 | Abstract: | In the midst of the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic, where cases continue to increase exponentially every day, it is important to consider the future implications that this may have on the health-care system, the most feared situation being a shortage of critical-care resources, where difficult decisions have to be made about the allocation of scarce resources. In this brief narrative review, we conduct literature searches for COVID-19 ethical guidelines on critical-care resource allocation. Synthesising this information, we evaluate the relevant ethical principles and thereafter provide recommendations contextualised to Singapore. This brief narrative review aims to serve as a useful set of guiding principles for health-care professionals in Singapore, should the need for allocation of scarce resources arise. © The Author(s) 2020. | Source Title: | Proceedings of Singapore Healthcare | URI: | https://scholarbank.nus.edu.sg/handle/10635/198394 | ISSN: | 20101058 | DOI: | 10.1177/2010105820947439 |
