Abstract:

93 Background: Surgical palliation is defined as the use of a procedure in patients with incurable disease to relieve symptoms. The American College of Surgeons Risk Calculator (ACSRC) was created based on data from the National Surgical Quality Improvement Program to predict the risk of surgical complications on a patient specific level. Whether the ACSRC can accurately predict the risk of postoperative complications following palliative procedures in cancer patients is unknown. The purpose of this study was to determine if the ACSRC accurately predicted postoperative complication rates in th

Hybrid stage I palliation combines cardiothoracic surgery and interventional transcatheter procedures for treatment of hypoplastic left heart syndrome. The approach is an alternative to the Norwood procedure, the traditional first stage of surgical palliation. Hybrid stage I palliation involves placing bilateral branch pulmonary artery bands and a patent ductus arteriosus stent through a median sternotomy, performed without cardiopulmonary bypass. The purpose of the bands is to control blood flow to the lungs and protect the pulmonary bed while the stent sustains systemic cardiac output. A bal

Abstract:

Providing symptomatic palliation in terminal malignant disease is integral to high-quality elderly-care medicine. Effective pharmacological treatment, especially pain relief, is the mainstay of palliative care, but physical intervention is sometimes required to relieve mechanical problems. Interventional radiology is rapidly evolving and there are many clinical situations in which it is indicated. It is as effective as open surgery, but without the risk of general anaesthesia and surgical morbidity. Most interventional radiology procedures can be performed with a much shorter hospital stay tha

On September 23, 2002, the Belgian law on euthanasia came into force. This makes Belgium the second country in the world (after the Netherlands) to have an act on euthanasia. Even though there is currently a legal regulation of euthanasia in Belgium, very little is known about how this legal regulation could be translated into care for patients who request euthanasia. Although euthanasia-related mortality rates in Belgium are low, ranging from 0.30% to 1.20%, it can be expected that caregivers will increasingly be confronted with euthanasia requests and will, therefore, be more involved in the

Abstract:

The bidirectional Glenn surgery is a life-saving palliative surgery in patients with univentricular cardiac anatomy and physiology. This procedure can be performed either under cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) or off CPB. In this article, we will present a new innovative technique, which was performed on 6 individuals of age ranging from 2 to 18 years and followed up over a few months, which is effective, less morbid, as well as simple, safe, economically more viable, and is easily reproducible.

The univentricular repair procedure is often called the Fontan procedure in that most of these procedures are performed in stages. There are 3 stages of this procedure which in the first stage includes a systemic-to-pulmonary shunt, pulmonary artery (PA) banding, atrial septectomy, and reconstructive procedures such as the Damus-Kaye-Stansel (DKS) and Norwood procedure; th

Abstract:

Surgeons routinely provide palliative care, but often the technical procedure needed for the palliative intervention is beyond our training and comfort zone. This case is an example of surgical palliative care that utilizes image-guided techniques to provide optimal care. A frail elderly patient with multiple comorbidities who had been hospitalized for other diseases was diagnosed with acute acalculous cholecystitis. General surgery and gastroenterology were initially consulted, and the patient was referred to interventional radiology for a percutaneous cholecystostomy. The procedure was techn

Abstract:

More than half of patients diagnosed with colon cancer present at an advanced stage, and palliative treatment may involve stoma formation. A literature review was undertaken to determine the potential effects of stoma formation as a palliative procedure on a patient's quality of life, and to examine the role of the clinical nurse specialist in this situation. Limited literature was found on this specific subject, so established evidence surrounding stoma formation and quality of life was examined in relation to palliative care.

Abstract:

Thoracentesis is one of the most important invasive procedures in the clinical setting. Particularly, thoracentesis can be relevant in the evaluation of a new diagnosed pleural effusion, thus allowing for the collection of pleural fluid so that laboratory tests essential to establish a diagnosis can be performed. Furthermore, thoracentesis is a maneuver that can have therapeutic and palliative purposes. Historically, the procedure was performed based on a physical examination. In recent years, the role of ultrasound has been established as a valuable tool for assistance and guidance in the tho

Abstract:

Benefits of early palliative care referral in oncology are well-validated. At the Veneto Institute of Oncology-IRCCS, a simultaneous-care outpatient clinic (SCOC) has been active since 2014, where patients with advanced cancer are evaluated by an oncologist together with a palliative care team. We prospectively assessed SCOC patients’ characteristics and SCOC outcomes through internal procedure indicators. Data were retrieved from the SCOC prospectively maintained database. There were 753 eligible patients. The median age was 68 years; primary tumor sites were gastrointestinal (75.2%), genitou

Abstract:

Hypoplastic left heart syndrome is a spectrum of complex congenital cardiac defects. Although in borderline cases, biventricular repair is a viable option, in the majority of cases, univentricular palliation is the treatment of choice. Hybrid palliation can be a valid alternative to classic Norwood operation in the neonatal period, especially in selected cases such as high-risk patients or borderline left ventricles. Echocardiography is the main diagnostic modality in this pediatric population, from the fetal diagnosis to the subsequent surgical steps of palliative treatment. Hybrid palliation

Abstract Dementia marks an increasingly prevalent terminal illness for which palliative care, including spiritual care, could improve quality of life. Research gaps exist in understanding the intersection of dementia, spirituality, and palliative care.

Abstract:

Although Norwood's first stage palliative procedure has been adopted by most proponents of reconstructive surgery for hypoplastic left heart syndrome, several technical modifications have recently been introduced. Some are intended primarily to minimize the adverse effects of cardiopulmonary bypass, hypothermic circulatory arrest, or both. Some are intended to simplify the technical performance of the initial palliative procedure. As the number of patients surviving staged reconstructive surgery for hypoplastic left heart syndrome grows steadily, there is a shift in emphasis toward investigati
