The following is an outline of a presented simulation experiment: During an interactive video meeting, more than 250 surrogates were presented with a hypothetical code status decision for a spouse or parent in the ICU with multisystem organ failure. The question posed to the surrogates was whether to perform cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) in the event of a cardiac arrest in the patient, knowing that there was only a 10% chance of survival to discharge.
