COVID-19 critical care triage across Canada: a narrative synthesis and ethical analysis of early provincial triage protocols

CONCLUSIONS: Early provincial COVID-19 triage protocols were developed by dedicated expert committees under challenging circumstances. Nonetheless, few were publicly available, and public consultation was limited. No protocols were ever implemented, including during periods of extreme critical care surge. A national approach to pandemic triage that incorporates additional aspects of procedural justice should be considered in preparation for future pandemics.PMID:38589739 | DOI:10.1007/s12630-024-02744-y
