      abstract = {In this book, part of the European Society of Intensive  Care Medicine (ESICM) textbook series, experts in the field  of clinical ethics describe basic principles of clinical  ethics and ethical reasoning, the fundamental pillars of  intensive care medicine as well as the decision-making  processes necessary to arrive at appropriate decisions for  each individual patient. Specifically, the complex  decision-making process, with regard to limiting  life-sustaining therapies and integrating palliative care  into intensive care, are expounded. Furthermore, the still  controversial topics of ethical climate, proportionate  care, and prioritization are elaborated upon. The so-called  soft skills of inter-professional communication and  co-operation are given the attention they deserve in order  to overcome the gap between technological progress and  interpersonal standstill. Finally, widely accepted ethical  values and principles were challenged by the Covid-19  pandemic, forcing clinicians to elaborate recommendations  regarding the prioritization of scarce resources. The book  will be an invaluable tool for clinicians to understand  ethical principles and reasoning to contend ethical  challenges in intensive care medicine across the boundaries  of disciplines and professions, in order to provide an  appropriate individual plan of treatment for their  patients.},
