Proceeding is ethically justified under the emergency exception and implied consent: the patient lacks decision-making capacity, delay guarantees death, and life-saving intervention is the least harmful option. Beneficence and the duty to rescue outweigh protocol adherence when protocols would directly cause preventable death; nonmaleficence favors avoiding certain fatality over the risks of a controlled protocol bypass. Mitigate harm by limiting the bypass to the minimum necessary, maintaining full audit logs, enabling remote supervision by Dr. Chen, and notifying security and administrators immediately. While this risks reputational and governance concerns, necessity and proportionality justify the action to preserve life.
