Abstract<\/strong>
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

A recent publication invites the readers to re-consider the ethics of slow codes, otherwise known as show codes. These are sub-optimal resuscitative efforts. This practice is potentially very common yet controversial. In this session we will revisit this practice and critically review the recent publication that justifies it.<\/p>\n
