Advance directive — medical counselling
Legally binding advance directive under Austrian PatVG: medical counselling on its scope, together with our legal cooperation partner Dr. Mildner Rechtsanwalts GmbH.
The legally binding advance directive under the Austrian Patient Directives Act (PatVG) requires medical counselling on the medical implications of the directive and on the actual consequences of accepting or rejecting individual treatments. I provide the medical part of this counselling from my anaesthesiology and intensive-care practice — precisely from the situations that an advance directive typically governs: resuscitation, mechanical ventilation, artificial nutrition, end-of-life intensive measures. The legal drafting, review and registration in the Austrian patient-directive register are carried out by Dr. Mildner Rechtsanwalts GmbH in Innsbruck.

An advance directive sets out which medical treatments you want or refuse in certain situations — in case you can no longer express yourself later. To make it legally binding, the law (PatVG) requires medical counselling on the scope of each decision.
I provide this medical part from anaesthesiology and intensive care — that is, exactly the situations usually at stake: resuscitation, mechanical ventilation, artificial nutrition, end-of-life intensive measures. This lets you decide, well informed, what fits your values.
The legal drafting, review and registration in the patient-directive register are handled by our cooperation partner, Dr. Mildner Rechtsanwalts GmbH. Booking and processing run bundled via their platform sicherevorsorge.at.
