PALIATIVE CARE ON INTENSIVE CARE UNIT
STATE-OF-THE-ART
Abstract
On the daily routine of urgency and emergency practice, more specifically on intensive care, there are many situations where the patient is in a situation of imminent death, many times with life support already applied. In such context, ever more present, we need interventions that soften its inherent suffering, where human compassion and mercy can prevail. In this study, we made a systematic bibliographic revision with a didactic description, evaluating the importance and need of the integration of palliative care with intensive care due its elevated efficiency and efficacy on patient support, especially the ones with terminal disease and their families.
