- Abstract
Considering the limited capacity of critical care in most societies amid the COVID-19 pandemic, TLT could be an ethical alternative to unrestricted ICU treatment or non-provision of ICU care. At this juncture, uncertainties over a patient's prognosis are often overwhelming, and an approach of unrestricted ICU treatment is typically assumed for patients newly admitted to the ICU.
