Objective: analyze the bioethical aspects involved in nursing care during the process of dying and death of critically ill adult patients. Method: this is a qualitative, descriptive and exploratory study carried out with six nurses and eight nursing technicians from an Adult Intensive Care Unit in the northeast region of Rio Grande do Sul. The data was collected through semi-structured interviews, from May to June 2022, and analyzed according to content analysis. Results: data emerged relating to the following categories: Bioethics from the perspective of the adult intensive care nursing team; the patient-professional-family trinomial at the end of life; Nursing in coping with the death of the critically ill adult patient; and Patient autonomy as a premise of nursing care. Conclusion: bioethical aspects are essential in nursing care during the death of the critically ill patient. Nurses face dilemmas and conflicts when balancing ethical principles with the individual needs of patients and their families.
