摘要
Patients at the end of life frequently receive care in emergency departments. Emergency physicians are faced with caring for both patients who pass away suddenly following an acute illness or injury despite rescue efforts, as well as those who are dying from a chronic condition or high age. To provide proper care and respect the patients' wishes regarding invasive treatments, emergency physicians should be knowledgeable about advance directives and have effective communication skills when delivering bad news to patients and their family. In addition, a basic understanding of palliative care is necessary for physicians to effectively manage symptoms.
