Consolidating, Improving, and Novel Palliative Care: Order SetsMike Aref
A selection of slides, taken from a series of presentations, showing the evolution of consolidating and developing order sets for delivery of primary palliative care in our healthcare system.
Out-patient Primary and Specialty Palliative CareMike Aref
Presentation on primary and specialty palliative care, covering what is palliative care, basics of primary palliative care including pain and symptom management, and referral criteria for out-patient specialty palliative care.
This document outlines a lesson plan for a nursing class on palliative care. It defines palliative care as care given to improve quality of life for patients with serious illnesses like cancer. The goal is to prevent/treat symptoms and side effects of the disease in addition to psychological, social and spiritual problems, not to cure. Palliative care is given throughout the cancer experience from diagnosis to end of life. It discusses that palliative care teams include doctors, nurses, dieticians, pharmacists and social workers, and can be provided in cancer centers, hospitals or hospice. It also differentiates palliative care from hospice care.
The lecture I gave for the Indiana University Health Joint Transplant Education and Research Lecture Series on palliative care. That's right, palliative care in transplant patients NOT at the end-of-life.
This document provides an introduction to palliative nursing care. It defines palliative care as an approach that improves quality of life for patients with life-threatening illnesses through pain management and treatment of physical, psychosocial, and spiritual problems. Palliative care aims to prevent and relieve suffering. It has developed since the 1960s in the UK and US and is now integrated into health care systems worldwide. Palliative care can benefit those with advanced diseases, uncertain medical goals, or end-of-life care needs. Effective palliative care is patient-centered, family-supported, communicates effectively, and works with an interdisciplinary team. Barriers to palliative care include cultural views of death and lack of understanding, knowledge, communication skills
This document provides information about palliative care and comfort care at the end of life. It discusses palliative care as improving quality of life for those with life-threatening illness through pain and symptom relief. Comfort care is care that helps or soothes those who are dying with the goal of preventing and relieving suffering while respecting wishes. The document provides guidance on identifying actively dying patients, managing pain and dyspnea with opioids, and using continuous opioid infusions.
The document discusses palliative surgery for terminally ill patients. It defines terminally ill patients as those with an incurable diagnosis and less than a few months to live. Palliative surgery aims to improve quality of life and relieve symptoms of advanced disease, rather than cure the condition. Common symptoms in these patients like pain, weakness, vomiting, and bowel obstruction are discussed along with potential causes and treatments. Surgical procedures that may provide palliative benefit are also outlined. The document concludes by listing the American College of Surgeons' 10 principles of palliative care, which focus on respecting patient autonomy, communication, symptom relief, and discontinuing futile treatments.

Palliative care focuses on reducing the intensity and severity of symptoms from disease to improve quality of life. It is provided by an interdisciplinary team and addresses physical, emotional, and spiritual needs through pain and symptom management. Palliative care can be provided alongside curative treatment from the time of diagnosis for diseases like cancer, organ failure, Alzheimer's, and AIDS. Radiotherapy can help manage bone metastases, spinal cord compression, and other symptoms in palliative care.
Palliative care aims to improve quality of life for patients facing life-limiting illness and their families through pain and symptom management, psychosocial and spiritual support from diagnosis until end of life. It focuses on preventing and relieving suffering through early identification and treatment of pain, and addresses physical, psychosocial and spiritual problems. Palliative care is applicable alongside curative treatments and aims neither to hasten nor postpone death.
Palliative care aims to improve quality of life for patients with life-limiting illnesses through early identification and treatment of pain and other symptoms. Palliative care takes a holistic approach addressing physical, psychosocial and spiritual needs. Dyspnea, or breathlessness, is a common and distressing symptom experienced by over 50% of hospice patients. A thorough history and assessment of dyspnea is important to identify potential causes and guide treatment options. Both non-pharmacological and pharmacological interventions can provide relief, including opioids, benzodiazepines, oxygen, bronchodilators, and corticosteroids. Active management of dyspnea is important during the last hours of life to minimize suffering.
This document discusses palliative care, particularly for cancer patients. It defines palliative care as medical care focused on relieving symptoms and improving quality of life for patients with serious illnesses. The goal of palliative care is to minimize suffering and improve quality of life by comprehensively addressing physical, psychosocial and spiritual needs. Palliative care teams include doctors, nurses, social workers and other specialists working together to provide relief from pain and other symptoms for patients and support for their families.
The CNS will provide education and support to the nursing staff regarding palliative care for dyspnea at end of life. This includes assessing the staff's comfort level and understanding of palliation, as well as determining if family input influenced the decision to transfer Mrs. J to the emergency department against her wishes. The goal is to develop strategies to improve end of life care and decision making in the nursing home setting.
The document discusses end-of-life care for pediatric oncology patients, including an overview of treatments like chemotherapy and radiation. It then covers the process of death and available palliative care resources. Key perspectives discussed include those of patients, parents, siblings, and hospital staff.
Palliative care aims to improve quality of life and relieve suffering for patients with serious illnesses. It can be provided along with curative treatment or on its own for comfort care. Total dyspnea involves physical, psychological, social and spiritual factors causing breathing distress. Signs that a patient is actively dying include profound weakness, disorientation, changes in breathing, and vocalizations like grunting.
Ethical Issues Regarding Nutrition and Hydration in Advanced IllnessMike Aref
Be able to discuss and clarify “pleasure feeding” with patients and their families
Identify ethical issues with continuing or stopping artificial nutrition and hydration
Understand complications of artificial nutrition and hydration that are not ethically justifiable
Be able to discuss issues of self-dehydration and self-starvation
This document discusses the basic principles of palliative care, including definitions, goals, ethical issues and barriers. It provides statistics on palliative care needs in Palestine, including causes of death, cancer rates and lack of services. Recommendations are made to establish national palliative care policies and programs, train healthcare workers, ensure availability of pain medications, and incorporate palliative care into existing healthcare systems to improve end of life care.
This document discusses emergencies and management in the last 48 hours of life in palliative care. It covers spinal cord compression, hypercalcemia of malignancy, and superior vena cava syndrome as common emergencies. For the last 48 hours, the goals are comfort, communication, and preparation for death. Symptoms addressed include weakness, secretions, pain, agitation, incontinence, and breathing issues. Care focuses on hydration, nutrition, oral hygiene, skin care, positioning, and supporting family members.
Palliative care for family medicine trainees 2015Chai-Eng Tan
This document provides an overview of palliative care for family medicine trainees. It defines palliative care as improving quality of life for patients and families facing life-threatening illness. It discusses pain control using the WHO analgesic ladder and managing non-pain symptoms. It covers prognostication using performance status scales and discussing prognosis with patients. Finally, it describes the role of community-based palliative care providers in delivering multidisciplinary care to allow patients to die at home.
Building on the lecture I gave (and uploaded) "Palliative Care: what every primary care doctor should know" I built this talk. It is geared for 1st year medical students who are learning anatomy, physiology, and perhaps some pharmacology and pathophysiology.
In this talk, I do not explicitly address hospice care - as that was provided in an online chapter for students at UMass. I will later upload another slide set on that topic.
I hope you enjoy it.

Basics of palliative care including symptom management: pain, dyspnea, nausea and constipation; family meetings, goals-of-care, end-of-life care, and artificial nutrition.
Palliative care aims to improve quality of life for patients with serious illnesses through pain and symptom management as well as addressing physical, psychological, social, and spiritual needs. It focuses on preventing and relieving suffering for the patient and their family from diagnosis through the end of life and into bereavement. Palliative care is provided through interdisciplinary teams in various settings including hospitals, outpatient clinics, nursing homes, and in the community.
Nutrition and hydration are important aspects of palliative care aimed at improving patient comfort and quality of life. Terminal illnesses can negatively impact nutritional status through issues like malabsorption and increased nutrient needs. While nutrition cannot prolong life, optimal nutrition can empower patients by enabling them to fulfill final goals and maintain dignity. A multidisciplinary approach is needed to address individual patient needs, symptoms, and preferences through oral feeding, enteral nutrition, or parenteral nutrition when appropriate. Hydration also seeks to relieve patient discomfort through careful use of oral hydration or alternatives like subcutaneous hydration.
This study aimed to examine the impact of acupuncture on pain, nausea, anxiety and coping in women undergoing mastectomy surgery. The study involved a randomized controlled trial where women were assigned to either receive acupuncture post-surgery or usual care. Results found that acupuncture was effective in reducing anxiety, improving coping ability, and decreasing pain and nausea, with statistically significant differences between the acupuncture and usual care groups. Limitations included a small sample size and lack of diversity. Future research could involve a larger, more diverse population and exploring optimal timing of acupuncture interventions.
Scoring Suffering to Address Patient Needs in Palliative Care: The "Maslow Sc...Mike Aref
Introduction
Palliative care patients have been scored by their symptom burden and performance but there is little standardization of their multidimensional suffering, needs, and wants. Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs is a model for describing these needs as physiological, safety, love/ belonging, esteem, and self-actualization. The functional pain score is a validated method of scoring pain based on patient report and provider assessment. Using these two frameworks, the “Maslow Score” seeks to use Maslow’s Hierarchy to score the current patient situation based on symptom burden, plan, network, and meaning.
Methods
The scores are four-digit codes describing the patient situation at a given time base on team consensus. Each digit is a score from most secure, 0, to most vulnerable, 5. Both written examples and an algorithmic approach have been provided to obtain each score.
Results
Morning huddle has been expedited by utilizing scores recorded the previous day. Also if sudden changes have been reported they can be compared rapidly against a team standard. This triaging helps direct team resources as to whether patients should be reassessed by the entire team or specific members. The discussion has improved assessment of patients from an interdisciplinary perspective. In general, patients cannot improve their network and meaning scores until symptom and planning scores have been optimized.
Discussion
The “Maslow Score” appears to have improved the quality of care that our service delivers by improving efficiency. Further development and study is needed to standardize and validate our method.

Pharmacological interventions like opioids and NSAIDs are compared with non-pharmacological options. The nursing role in a pain management plan utilizing the nursing process is also summarized.
This document discusses optimizing pain management in cancer treatment. It provides an overview of concepts like total pain, the WHO analgesic ladder for treating pain with opioids, and the importance of proper pain assessment and documentation. The key points are:
1) Total pain includes physical, psychosocial, emotional, and spiritual suffering experienced by cancer patients.
2) The WHO analgesic ladder recommends treating mild pain with non-opioids like paracetamol, moderate pain with weak opioids like codeine, and severe pain with strong opioids like morphine.
3) Proper pain assessment involves documenting pain scores, characteristics, causes, and impact on function to effectively guide pain treatment decisions.

3) Proper pain assessment involves documenting pain scores, characteristics, causes, and impact on function to effectively guide pain treatment decisions.
Chronic pain management involves comprehensive evaluation and treatment of pain. The IASP defines chronic pain as pain persisting beyond normal tissue healing time, usually 3 months. It impacts function and well-being. Treatment includes pharmacotherapy like opioids, nonopioids, and adjuvant analgesics. Opioids require careful patient selection, dosing, monitoring, and side effect management. Adjuvant analgesics like anticonvulsants and antidepressants are effective for neuropathic pain. A multimodal approach balances analgesia and side effects for optimal chronic pain treatment.
This document discusses pain, including definitions of pain, types of pain, factors influencing pain, effects of pain, individual variations in pain response, and pain assessment tools. It also covers postoperative pain management principles like the WHO pain ladder, pharmacological and non-pharmacological interventions for pain control, preemptive analgesia using local anesthetics or other drugs before a painful stimulus to reduce later pain, and techniques like patient-controlled analgesia and epidural analgesia. The goal of pain management is to prevent pain from interfering with recovery through adequate assessment and treatment.
This document discusses pain, its types, effects, assessment, and management. It defines pain and outlines types including acute, chronic, neuropathic, and postoperative pain. It describes physiological and behavioral responses to pain and factors influencing pain. Methods of pain assessment including scales, questionnaires, and initial evaluation are provided. The importance of pain management and various pharmacological and non-pharmacological approaches are summarized.
This document discusses pain management in cancer patients. It covers the pathophysiology of pain, assessment strategies, drug and non-drug treatment options, managing special populations, patient education, and Joint Commission standards. The key aspects are conducting a comprehensive initial pain assessment, developing an individualized treatment plan using the WHO analgesic ladder as a guide, treating breakthrough pain, managing side effects, and employing multimodal therapies including pharmacological and nonpharmacological options.
This document discusses an integrative approach to pain relief using biomedicine, Chinese medicine, and science. It provides an overview of pain management techniques from both Western and Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) perspectives, including acupuncture and auricular therapy. TCM aims to regulate yin and yang and treat the root cause of pain. When integrated with Western medicine, TCM can enhance efficacy, reduce side effects, and improve quality of life for pain patients.

Pharmacotherapy of PAIN - Bigin Gyawali BiGs.pptxBigin Gyawali
Pharmacotherapy for pain involves the use of medications to alleviate or manage pain. The choice of pharmacological agents depends on the type, severity, and duration of pain, as well as individual patient factors such as age, comorbidities, and medication tolerances. Here is a comprehensive description of pharmacotherapy for pain, considering various classes of medications:
1. **Nonsteroidal Anti-Inflammatory Drugs (NSAIDs):**
- NSAIDs, such as ibuprofen and naproxen, work by inhibiting the enzymes involved in inflammation and pain.
- They are effective in managing mild to moderate pain, particularly that associated with inflammation, such as arthritis or musculoskeletal injuries.
- However, long-term use may be associated with gastrointestinal side effects, so caution is advised.
2. **Acetaminophen:**
- Acetaminophen is a pain reliever and fever reducer that is generally considered safer for the stomach than NSAIDs.
- It is commonly used for mild to moderate pain and is often recommended for individuals who cannot tolerate NSAIDs.
- Excessive use, however, can lead to liver damage, so dosing recommendations should be followed carefully.
3. **Opioids:**
- Opioids, such as morphine, oxycodone, and hydrocodone, are potent analgesics that can be effective for moderate to severe pain.
- They work by binding to opioid receptors in the brain and spinal cord, altering the perception of pain.
- Due to the risk of tolerance, dependence, and addiction, opioids are typically reserved for short-term use or for chronic pain that has not responded to other treatments.
4. **Adjuvant Medications:**
- Certain medications originally developed for other purposes, such as anticonvulsants (e.g., gabapentin, pregabalin) and antidepressants (e.g., amitriptyline, duloxetine), can be used as adjuvants in pain management.
- These medications can help manage neuropathic pain and may enhance the effects of other analgesics.
5. **Corticosteroids:**
- Corticosteroids, such as prednisone, may be used for short-term relief of pain and inflammation, particularly in conditions like rheumatoid arthritis or certain inflammatory disorders.
- Prolonged use is generally avoided due to the risk of side effects.
6. **Topical Analgesics:**
- Topical formulations, including creams, patches, and gels, containing analgesic agents like NSAIDs, lidocaine, or capsaicin, can be applied directly to the affected area for localized pain relief.
7. **Muscle Relaxants:**
- Muscle relaxants, such as cyclobenzaprine or baclofen, may be prescribed to alleviate pain associated with muscle spasms or tension.
It's important for healthcare professionals to conduct a thorough assessment of the patient's pain and medical history to tailor the pharmacotherapy approach. The goal is to achieve adequate pain control while minimizing the risk of side effects and considering the overall well-being of the patient. Regular monitoring and communication.
Mr. Clark and Mrs. Wong both had total hip replacements but are experiencing different levels of pain. Mr. Clark rates his pain an 8 out of 10 and is receiving morphine through a PCA pump. Mrs. Wong rates her pain a 3 out of 10 and is using over-the-counter Motrin. Pain is subjective and people have different pain tolerances. Factors like ethnicity, gender, and pain medication use can impact pain levels.
This document discusses cognitive perceptual patterns related to pain. It begins with objectives of defining key pain terms, mechanisms of pain perception, classifying pain locations, and factors influencing pain. It then defines pain and related terms like threshold and tolerance. It discusses physiological mechanisms of pain transmission and types of pain classified by duration, location, and origins. Factors influencing pain perception like age, gender, and anxiety are also reviewed. The document concludes with discussing the nursing process for a post-op patient experiencing pain, including assessment, diagnoses, interventions, and evaluation.
1 adequate therapy for chronic non cancer painPuya Arash
This document discusses chronic non-cancer pain (CNCP) and barriers to its treatment. It reviews the prevalence of CNCP, affecting over 25% of the population. Current therapeutic approaches include non-pharmacological measures, analgesics like opioids and tramadol, and invasive interventions. However, barriers remain for physicians, patients, and the healthcare system. The document calls for a multidisciplinary approach and changes to improve CNCP management.

This document discusses palliative care, including its definition, aims, models, barriers to development, and challenges in Indonesia. Some key points include:
- Palliative care aims to relieve suffering and improve quality of life for patients with life-limiting illnesses through pain and symptom management as well as psychological, social, and spiritual support.
- Barriers to palliative care development include lack of funding, opioid availability issues, public and government awareness, and education/training programs.
- Palliative care in Indonesia is developing but still faces challenges related to policy, education, attitudes, and social conditions. It is primarily available in major cities near cancer treatment centers.
- Effective palliative care requires an inter

Pain is invisible disease, we can’t see it like other disease, such as struma, fracture or blind.
What you have to do is to believe what ever the patient says.
Pain is what ever the patient says it is
Pain is invisible diseases, but is real for patient.
NUTRITIONAL THERAPY IN CRITICAL ILL PATIENTS
However, significant barriers can impede the enteral administration of nutrients, including gastroduodenal dysfunction reflected by high gastric residual volumes, and diarrhoea and constipation.
Possible solutions are suggested. In case of contraindication or failure of enteral nutrition, parenteral nutrition is indicated -----as a replacement or a supplement to failing enteral feeding.
The perfect timing of supplemental parenteral nutrition (early or late) remains uncertain, and parenteral nutrition should be carefully monitored

Anesthesiologists should concern about the risk of POCD by making prevention and attentive to the potential risk factors.
It should be remembered that research in animal models which represent the specific characteristics of POCD in human remains unclear.
With many factors still unknown, there is still a chance for sinchronized preclinical and clinical research on POCD.

Recomendações da OMS sobre cuidados maternos e neonatais para uma experiência pós-natal positiva.
Em consonância com os ODS – Objetivos do Desenvolvimento Sustentável e a Estratégia Global para a Saúde das Mulheres, Crianças e Adolescentes, e aplicando uma abordagem baseada nos direitos humanos, os esforços de cuidados pós-natais devem expandir-se para além da cobertura e da simples sobrevivência, de modo a incluir cuidados de qualidade.
Estas diretrizes visam melhorar a qualidade dos cuidados pós-natais essenciais e de rotina prestados às mulheres e aos recém-nascidos, com o objetivo final de melhorar a saúde e o bem-estar materno e neonatal.
Uma “experiência pós-natal positiva” é um resultado importante para todas as mulheres que dão à luz e para os seus recém-nascidos, estabelecendo as bases para a melhoria da saúde e do bem-estar a curto e longo prazo. Uma experiência pós-natal positiva é definida como aquela em que as mulheres, pessoas que gestam, os recém-nascidos, os casais, os pais, os cuidadores e as famílias recebem informação consistente, garantia e apoio de profissionais de saúde motivados; e onde um sistema de saúde flexível e com recursos reconheça as necessidades das mulheres e dos bebês e respeite o seu contexto cultural.
Estas diretrizes consolidadas apresentam algumas recomendações novas e já bem fundamentadas sobre cuidados pós-natais de rotina para mulheres e neonatos que recebem cuidados no pós-parto em unidades de saúde ou na comunidade, independentemente dos recursos disponíveis.
É fornecido um conjunto abrangente de recomendações para cuidados durante o período puerperal, com ênfase nos cuidados essenciais que todas as mulheres e recém-nascidos devem receber, e com a devida atenção à qualidade dos cuidados; isto é, a entrega e a experiência do cuidado recebido. Estas diretrizes atualizam e ampliam as recomendações da OMS de 2014 sobre cuidados pós-natais da mãe e do recém-nascido e complementam as atuais diretrizes da OMS sobre a gestão de complicações pós-natais.
O estabelecimento da amamentação e o manejo das principais intercorrências é contemplada.
Recomendamos muito.
Vamos discutir essas recomendações no nosso curso de pós-graduação em Aleitamento no Instituto Ciclos.

15. Key barriers to good Cancer Pain
control Patients and carers
reluctant to complain about symptoms
fear pain and don’t know how to get help
lack knowledge about strong opioid analgesia
fear adverse effects leading to poor adherence.
Healthcare professionals
fail to assess pain adequately
reluctant to prescribe and monitor effective analgesia
provide insufficient education to promote self-
management
Healthcare systems
fail to recognise patients with cancer pain
communicate data on pain ineffectively
