The procedure of modifying the activity of implantable cardioverter-defibrators in patients at the end of life as an example of unifying the rules of dealing with a dying patient. The article presents the process of the creation, scope, and description of the hospital procedure introduced in Szpital Uniwersytecki nr 1 im. dr A. Jurasz in Bydgoszcz. This document deals with the modification of the activity of implantable cardioverter-defibrillators in patients at the end of life. The purpose of introducing the procedure was to unify the rules of conduct in the case of a patient in whom an ICD-type device interferes with the process of natural agony and death.
