title: [Bioethics limitation of therapeutic effort in pediatrics].
abstract: Given that the demand of society has shifted to seek maximum efficiency, maximum help based on the patient autonomy respect and awareness of its necessity, the limitation of therapeutic effort is one of the decisions more complex. Therefore, it should be an institutional objective to know the limitations of practice, assess and encourage improvement and in doubtful cases, resort to Assistive Bioethics Committees to advise on the development of clinical protocols in cases which the professional or the therapeutic team is faced with an ethical dilemma.
