García-Salido A, Navarro-Mingorance Á, Martino-Alba R, Nieto-Moro M · Archivos Argentinos de Pediatria · 2022
Pediatric palliative care aims at improving the care and quality of life of children who are terminally ill or have a fatal prognosis. In the hospital setting, end-of-life decisions and treatments are common in intensive care units. This is why the integration of palliative care in these units is a logical evolution of the clinical approach to severely ill children. This study provides an update on the indications and characteristics of the palliative care approach in the context of pediatric intensive care. Here we describe palliative care approach initiation, decision-making, communicative aspects, drug treatment, symptom management, and palliative sedation.
