摘要
Palliative Care is the symptom management of any patient who has an irreversible, progressive, life- limiting condition and is not solely cancer patients. It aims to enhance quality of life, utilizing a holistic, multidisciplinary approach. Good symptom management of palliative patients is what every clinician should be able to deliver. This short article addresses the practical management of how to commence strong opioids, palliative surgical interventions, palliative emergencies and lastly, when do you stop treating a patient who is clinically deteriorating.
