Area of Science:

  • Palliative Care
  • Oncology
  • End-of-Life Care

Background:

  • Palliative care focuses on improving quality of life for patients with advanced, progressive diseases.
  • It involves early identification, assessment, and treatment of symptoms, addressing patient and family needs.
  • Current emergency treatment mechanisms may not align with patient-centered palliative care during the final stages of life.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To present a clinical perspective on palliative care that contrasts with oncological emergency management.
  • To highlight the importance of patient-centered care during the last phase of life.
  • To discuss interventions for managing clinical crises at the end of life.

Main Methods:

  • This review examines a clinical attitude in palliative care.
  • It provides examples of common end-of-life clinical crises.
  • Treatment strategies before, during, and after these crises are discussed.

Main Results:

  • Palliative care interventions can be disease-specific and symptom-guided.
  • Preparation for distressing clinical problems is a key component for patients and relatives.
  • A patient-centered approach to palliative care can avoid inappropriate emergency treatment mechanisms.

Conclusions:

  • Palliative care offers a distinct approach to managing end-of-life symptoms and crises.
  • Integrating palliative care principles can improve patient and family experiences during the final phase of life.
  • This review advocates for a shift from standard emergency protocols to specialized palliative care.
