Silver Mangos has published a new guide highlighting the importance of advanced healthcare directives. These legal documents communicate a person’s wishes about healthcare should they become incapable of making decisions during an emergency.

Coconut Creek, United States - November 6, 2024 —

The new guide introduces Dr. Luis Pagan-Carlo, the bestselling author of 'Your Life’s Choice', who emphasizes the need for end-of-life conversations and advanced directives. In worst-case scenarios, an individual may be unable to express their needs and preferences in healthcare, and their loved ones may also not know their medical or end-of-life care instructions. Advanced directives provide medical practitioners a guide if a patient is terminally ill, in a coma, suffering from dementia, seriously injured or near the end of life.

Dr. Pagan-Carlo cautions against end-of-life planning until there is no more time. Individuals are advised to start making advanced directives for themselves as soon as possible to ensure they maintain their autonomy and dignity, even when they are sick or injured. Some considerations to include in an advanced directive are current medications, allergies, and preferences for medical decisions, such as CPR, ventilation, and feeding. Dr. Pagan-Carlo clarifies that unless otherwise specified, medical professionals are trained to use any and every option to save a person’s life.

“The medical treatments most patients receive from healthcare professionals in an emergency, such as when a person’s heart or breathing stops (cardiac or respiratory arrest), may be very different from what they actually prefer,” he writes. “When patients are unable to communicate - because of loss of consciousness, being considered not of sound mind, or not leaving medical or end-of-life instructions in a legal form, or lacking medical surrogate - emergency medical services (EMS) responders, doctors, and nurses reflexively reach for one option: save life.”

Interested parties can download a complimentary copy of Dr. Pagan-Carlo’s end-of-life conversations guide that includes practical and realistic advanced healthcare directive examples. It also addresses popular misconceptions, such as that an advanced directive is only necessary for the elderly or very sick.
