The method used to understand and evaluate ethical life is called ethics. The ethical principles are used when making medical decisions. The increase in medical knowledge and the development of initiatives, and the end of life action or death decision, ethics plays an important role. The American Heart Association and the European Resuscitation Council guidelines for cardiopulmonary resuscitation (KPR) provide rules for the end of resuscitation in cases of unhospital heart failure. In literature there are studies on how beneficial resuscitation is in pre-hospital heart arrest and the criteria for termination of the KPR are predicted. The termination of the KPR remains on the decision of the emergency health care staff or the doctor (based on ethical principles) before the hospital. However, in some countries this right is legally granted only to the doctor, while in our country the decision to terminate resuscitation in cases of pre-hospital heart arrest is given by the emergency service doctor. This study aims to create a conceptual framework relating to death decision and ethics in cases where resuscitation is applied in pre-hospital emergency care.
