Abstract
Discussion: After a multidisciplinary ethical and clinical reflection, it was considered that the patient would not benefit from invasive mechanical ventilation. The patient was informed of his actual state of disease and initiation of comfort measures was agreed, including high-flow oxygen therapy. Conclusion: The application of the four ethical principles gives a moral, fundamental and mutual language and structure, which should be complement with a compassive support of the family, an enlightening communication and an essential information sharing. An early follow-up by a palliative care team is of the essence.
