New Guidelines Released for End-of-Life Treatment Decisions. Four major medical societies, including the Japanese Society of Intensive Care Medicine, have published new guidelines for discontinuing life-sustaining treatment. The guidelines emphasize respecting patient's values and clearly outline the decision-making process involving patients, families, and medical teams. Notably, they do not define "terminal illness" and include specific protocols for palliative care after treatment cessation. This is the first revision in 12 years, aiming to prevent prolonging treatment against a patient's dignity.
