Only one formal system of individual clinical ethics consultation has been reported in Chile, with a ten-year registry. Aim: To evaluate the opinion of intensivist physicians about the contribution of clinical ethics consultation. Material and Methods: An anonymous and voluntary questionnaire consulting their opinion about clinical ethics consultations was sent to 38 intensivist physicians. Results: The questionnaire was answered by 28 professionals. Eighty four percent of respondents considered that ethics consultation contributed to improve patients' quality of care, 92% responded that this practice helps in decisions about limitation of treatments or life support, and 96% expressed that it also was a positive support for patients and their relatives. Seventy two percent of respondents considered that ethics consultations enhanced their ethical sensibility, 76% that they improved their understanding of clinical ethics topics, and 72% declared that it decreased their stress in complex decision-making. Conclusions: Clinical ethics consultation provides a positive support for improvements in clinical decision-making and in the quality of patients' care.info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessSociedad Médica de SantiagoRevista médica de Chile v.149 n.7 20212021-07-01text/htmlhttp://www.scielo.cl/scielo.php?script=sci_arttext&pid=S0034-98872021000700997es10.4067/s0034-98872021000700997
