Abstract:
Background Palliative sedation has been used to refer to the practice of providing symptom control through the administration of sedative drugs. The objective of this article was to characterise palliative sedation use in inpatients at a medium-stay palliative care unit. Material and methods A cross-sectional study was conducted on 125 randomly selected patients (aged 15 or older) who had died in 2014. The Palliative Performance Scale was used to evaluate the functional status. Results Palliative sedation was documented in 34.4% of the patients and midazolam was the most commonly used sedative

Abstract:
‘Palliation sedation’ is a widely used term to describe the intentional administration of sedatives to reduce a dying person’s consciousness to relieve intolerable suffering from refractory symptoms. Research studies generally focus on either ‘continuous sedation until death’ or ‘continuous deep sedation’. It is not always clear whether instances of secondary sedation (i.e. caused by specific symptom management) have been excluded. Continuous deep sedation is controversial because it ends a person’s ‘biographical life’ (the ability to interact meaningfully with other people) and shortens ‘biol

Abstract:
This thesis explores the practice of sedation in hospice palliative care. Internationally this has been a controversial subject for over 20 years, with the use of sedation considered to be on a spectrum between euthanasia and symptom control at the end of life. This is a complex area of study, incorporating not only technical details regarding drugs and doses, but also relating to underlying values regarding end of life care. In the UK end of life care has developed from the ‘hospice movement’ of the 1960s, into the broad and far reaching approach of palliative care. Alongside this development

Introduction: Palliative sedation is the use of sedatives to lower the alertness for symptomcontrol, when suffering is otherwise uncontrollable. Its role in palliative care is frequentlyargued, with both proponents and opponents. End-of-life decisions raise many concerns,including ethical ones, regarding which ethical principle should be valued the most. Someopponents argue that palliative sedation is ethically similar to euthanasia, but there alsoappears to be some confusion concerning concepts and definitions.

Abstract:
With the increased ability of medical technology to manipulate or prolong the end of a patient's life, and with the increased dependency of patients on technology for survival and comfort, health care professionals who manipulate these "end of life" technologies seem to more directly manipulate the life and death of the patient. The end of life is the focus of the health care discipline of palliative care. It has been promoted as a holistic approach addressing the needs of dying patients which, if not addressed, give rise to requests for physician assisted suicide. Yet, concerns regarding the

Abstract:
Palliative sedation refers to lowering a patient’s level of consciousness so that she no longer suffers from intolerable and refractory symptoms. Some forms of palliative sedation are ethically uncontroversial, such as emergency or respite sedation. Continuous sedation to unconsciousness (CSU) is controversial in that a patient in such a state is unable to eat or drink and may not be able to protect her airway. Ethically relevant considerations include the inability to participate in subsequent decision-making, the uncertain quality of an unconscious life, and the impact on life expectancy (wh

Palliative sedation is a well-accepted therapy that should be considered in the rare situations when a terminally ill patient whose overriding goal is comfort experiences severe suffering that is refractory to all available standard palliative interventions. Typically, such suffering is caused by physical or neuropsychiatric symptoms such as pain, dyspnoea, vomiting, seizures, agitated delirium, anxiety, or depression. The level of sedation should be proportional to an individual patient’s suffering and should be just deep enough to provide the desired relief. In some cases, sedation to uncons

Formerly referred to as “passive euthanasia,” forgoing life-sustaining medical treatment came to be accepted in the 1970s based on a patient’s right to privacy. In order to achieve this societal shift, the practice was clearly distinguished from active euthanasia, which was universally rejected. Over the ensuing decades, other permutations of “the right to die”—including receiving intensive pain medication at the end of life and palliative sedation—were considered and accepted to varying degrees.
