The Washington Post (4/28, Cha) reports that “since the early days of the novel coronavirus pandemic, hospitals have been scrambling to update documents that describe how they would allocate scarce resources,” such as ventilators.
One paper “published in the Annals of Internal Medicine gives the first broad look at some of those rationing documents.” The paper “examines 29 plans primarily from large academic medical centers in urban areas in 18 states and the District.” Ten plans “give preference for scarce ventilators to health-care workers,” and “half of the policies use age as a criterion for rationing ventilators, but only two had explicit age cutoffs.”.
