Abstract

Ethical issues are of increasing interest in current medicine, and pediatrics is no exception. In critical care, the relevance of these considerations becomes even greater. Commonly used expressions in bioethics, frequently lead to terminological confusion and misunderstandings, as reported by several publications, revealing a lack of clear concepts in many cases. As an attempt to clarify or facilitate the comprehension of the most relevant terms in this field, the Spanish Society of Pediatric Intensive Care has prepared a Glossary of the most commonly used terms and expressions.
