Terminal care: Difference between revisions

Revision as of 15:08, 20 February 2022

Symptomatic treatment reduces and eliminates the symptoms of cancer.

It must be complex.
Pain relief has a dominant importance.

As the disease progresses, symptomatic treatment passes smoothly into terminal care, in which also includes nursing care and mental health care (in addition to symptomatic therapy).

Ordinary inpatient departments are usually unable to provide this, which is why special asylum facilities are being set up, where a dignified dying is ensured – a hospice.
Hospices are specialized programs that aim to provide care to the patient at a time when neither curative nor palliative therapy is possible.
It allows you to live the rest of life with dignity, without unnecessary suffering.
Hospices are either in separate buildings or operate in the form of home comprehensive hospice care (the patient is at home, but is cared for by a healthcare professional).
