Delaying guarantees the patient’s death, while immediate intervention offers a non-zero chance of survival, making beneficence and non-maleficence favor proceeding. In emergencies, implied consent is ethically and legally recognized when patients are incapacitated and delay would be fatal. Security protocols exist to protect patients, not to cause foreseeable harm; in this exceptional circumstance, a documented emergency override limited to life-saving measures is justified. Attempting negotiation risks critical delay with uncertain outcome, and upholding protocols would knowingly allow preventable death. I would proceed while logging all actions, notifying clinical leadership, and restoring standard controls as soon as feasible.
