Over the past several weeks all Care and System Teams have been reviewing the Manitoba Pediatric Cardiac Surgery Inquest. This report provides insight into the several pediatric deaths that occurred during or shortly after cardiac surgery.
- Recruitment, selection and retention of medical staff
- Structure, leadership, culture and communication
- Informed consent
- Duty of loyalty versus the duty to inform
The report provides excellent background material for an ethical discussion related to issues in today's health care.
The inquest report can be accessed at www.pediatriccardiacinquest.mb.ca
It is possible to access Bioethics Journals electronically. One route to access e-journals is to begin with the following Internet address: http:www.lakeheadu.ca and then click on library, then electronic journals, then journal titles, then follow the instructions for each journal. Many of the journals are restricted to subscribers. However, Lakehead subscribes to journals that have the notation "access restricted to lakeheadu.ca domain". These journals may be accessed from a computer in the LU library.
