Palliative Care Needs

Palliative care is increasingly recognized as an important component of care for all critically ill patients and should include both improving the primary palliative care skills of all clinicians working in the intensive care unit (ICU) as well as incorporating palliative care specialists for patients and families with unmet palliative care needs. This chapter highlights the key issues related to palliative care in ICU and evidence-based strategies to manage these issues. Topics covered include screening criteria to help identify patients with a high likelihood of unmet palliative care needs, withdrawal of life support (checklist and communication), providing prognostic information, quality indicators for end-of-life care in the ICU, and symptom assessment and management in the ICU.
