Panel 7: Withdrawal, Withholding and the Space Between

Crisis to Continuity — The ICU in the Cancer Journey. Full proceedings of OCCC-4, the 4th Annual Onco Critical Care Conference of the Onco Critical Care Society (OCCS), held on 12 September 2026 at Panchshila Rendezvous Banquets, New Delhi. Seven panel discussions bring together intensivists, oncologists, anaesthesiologists and palliative care physicians around the questions that define onco-critical care: who gets the ICU bed, how to secure an airway distorted by tumour and radiation, how to manage sepsis when the counts are zero, how to read respiratory failure in the cancer patient, and where treatment ends and comfort begins. ⏱ CHAPTERS 00:00 Welcome and introduction 00:00 Panel 1 — Who Gets the Bed?
