The UC Bioethics Working Group developed these guidelines carefully but expeditiously in the spring of 2020, given concerns for the potentially severe shortage of ventilators and other resources. We anticipate revising these guidelines over time based on public input, supply chain changes, population health outcomes and other aspects of the pandemic as it evolves. We are committed to maintaining a working document that reflects the principles and sensitivities of the people of California.
