Line 5: I'm confused by the current partial code paragraph. What is considered medically unsound? The intubation, etc. or the patient's advance medical directive? Is it always considered unsound, or only in certain cases? If a partial code is considered unsound, what's the sound alternative in this case: full resusitation against the patient's wishes, or complete withholding of treatment? - Additionally, I'm unclear as to the exact circumstances to which "slow code" applies. Is it specifically when the patient has a DNR-like order, or does it also apply when the patient would allow a full code, but doctors don't believe it would help (but go through the motions anyway). And if a slow code is considered unethical, what is the ethically recommended course of action instead? -- [[Special:Contributions/67.40.214.209\|67.40.214.209]] ([[User talk:67.40.214.209\|talk]]) 20:42, 27 April 2013 (UTC) == Where it happens == Does this only happen in the US or in other countries as well?
