About This Presentation

Description : Check out this medical titled "What is Palliative Care?” by J. Keith Mansel, MD.

This medical is about palliative care, specialized medical care provided to individuals who are facing serious or life-limiting illnesses. The goal of palliative care is to improve the quality of life for patients and their families by addressing the physical, emotional, social, and spiritual needs associated with advanced illness.

Palliative care is typically provided by a team of healthcare professionals, including doctors, nurses, social workers, and chaplains. The team works together to provide relief from symptoms such as pain, nausea, and fatigue, as well as emotional and spiritual support.

Palliative care can be provided at any stage of a serious illness, from the time of diagnosis through end-of-life care. It can be delivered in a variety of settings, including hospitals, nursing homes, and in the patients own home.

Palliative care is different from hospice care, which is a type of palliative care provided to patients in the final stages of life. Palliative care can be provided alongside curative treatments, while hospice care is focused on providing comfort and support to patients in the last months of life.

Case One You are asked to see a 64 y/o man with recently diagnosed small cell carcinoma of the lung. He is experiencing pain and dyspnea and will begin radiation therapy followed by chemotherapy in the next few days. He has limited disease and his oncologist is optimistic about a positive response. You begin opioids for symptom management and schedule another visit in one month.

Pain is inevitable……Suffering is optional Anonymous

Palliative Care Palliare- “to cloak, deceive, or cover” Palliate- “to lessen or mitigate without curing” Palliative Care- term first coined in 1974 by Dr. Balfour Mount
Slide 10-

Palliative Care Provides relief from pain and other symptoms Affirms life and regards dying as a normal process Intends neither to hasten death nor postpone death Integrates the psychological and spiritual aspects of patient care
Slide 11-

Palliative Care Offers a support system to families, including bereavement Uses a team approach Enhances quality of life and at times may positively influence the course of a disease Is applicable early in the course of an illness and in conjunction with other life prolonging therapies Hospice is one facet of palliative care
Slide 12-

Integrating Palliative Care into Chronic Life-Limiting Disease Management
Slide 13-

Palliative Care & Hospice
Slide 14-

Hospice Support and care for patients and families in the last phase of an incurable illness Attempt for patients to live as fully and comfortably as possibly Focus on quality of life and symptom management Continue to care for the patient, with a shift in focus
Slide 15-

Hospice Medicare benefit, enacted 1983 Hospice is paid a per diem Pays for nursing care, meds, DME No routine office visits Hospice is a conversation and a philosophy Hospice is a disposition only after the conversation
Slide 16-

Hospice Interdisciplinary approach-nurse driven 24 hour on call RN Supplies, equipment, most medications are paid for Hospice takes over medical care Respite care Do not have to be DNR
Slide 17-

Hospice Most care provided in home May be provided in NH or residential hospice Two physicians must certify that survival is anticipated if the disease trajectory continues it’s expected course Patients may stay in hospice more than six months
Slide 18-

Hospice GIP Care in an inpatient setting for pain or other symptom management Cannot be managed in other settings Intended to be a short term intervention Hospice makes determination of eligibility It is not an “automatic” level of care for imminently dying patients Examples are pain crisis on IV meds and delirium with behavioral issue Cap on these for each hospice
Slide 19-

Early Integration of Palliative Care in Patients with Serious Illness Palliative Care is not just for patients at the end of life The goal of palliative care is to improve quality of life throughout the trajectory of a serious illness Focus is on symptom management, advance care planning, psychosocial support, and relief of suffering
Slide 20-

Early Integration of Palliative Care…. A recent study in patients with advanced lung cancer and early palliative care revealed improvement in quality of life and survival Palliative Care can be provided with concurrent target-directed therapy American Society of Clinical Oncology recommends palliative care be integrated early in cancer patients
Slide 21-

Early Integration of Palliative Care Generally focus on symptom management initially Patients want to have relief of symptoms and know you care- this helps build trust Advance Care Planning (ACP) can come later ACP is a conversation about the right medical treatment for your patient
Slide 22-

Early Integration of Palliative Care….ACP Improves patient compliance Reduces hospitalizations at the end of life Leads to greater patient satisfaction Is longitudinal, iterative, incremental, and almost always changes over time Slow is sometimes best-patients can only assimilate so much information
Slide 23-

Take Home Message Palliative Care is appropriate for patients with serious illness at any stage of their disease process
Slide 24-

Case Two A 72 y/o woman is admitted to the CVICU after sudden cardiac arrest. She has severe anoxic brain injury with status myoclonus and minimal brain stem reflexes present. Palliative Care is consulted for goals of care. Family doesn’t “get it” and insists on “doing everything”.
Slide 25-

Goals of Care A common reason for Palliative Care consultation Often elderly patients with multiple medical problems and large symptom burden Not just at end of life
Slide 26-

Goals of Care….. Complex interaction requiring an intricate knowledge of the clinical realities as well as prognosis Necessitates understanding your patient’s values, preferences, and priorities Skill at responding to emotion, breaking bad news, and using a shared decision making model
Slide 27-

Goals of Care-How to Conduct the Discussion Through compassionate listening, establish a bond by making a non-medical connection Have your patient share their narrative-this can be both diagnostic and healing Understand their perception of their medical condition (Ask-Tell-Ask) Ask about the “Big Picture” Give small pieces of information and check in
Slide 28-

Goals of Care Guide If your health worsens, what are your most important goals? What are your biggest fears and worries about the future of your health? What abilities are so critical to your life that you can’t imagine living without them? If you become more ill, how much are you willing to go through for the possibility of gaining more time?

Relationships- PEARLS Partnership- “We are going to work on this together”, “I will be here for you” Empathy- “You appear sad”, “I wish things were different”, “I imagine this is very hard”, “Tell me more” ….silence….head nodding….emotive vs. cognitive….never respond to an emotion with a fact…..state the obvious…..
Slide 31-

Communication…PEARLS Acknowledge/Apologize- “You have done a wonderful job caring for your mother”, “ I am sorry I am running late and made you wait” Respect- “We may disagree, but I respect what you are telling me”, “I can’t tell you how great it is to see you doing some exercise, that’s really important”
Slide 32-

Communication PEARLS… Legitimize- “Anyone in your situation would be tearful”, “It is normal to have the frustrations you are experiencing now” Support- “ I am going to call your doctor so she knows we are all working together on this”, “Here is my contact information. I am here to work with you.”
Slide 33-

Communication…Helpful Phrases “Before we talk about your medical issues, tell me a little about yourself” “How do you understand the big picture of your health right now?” “What are your expectations of the time we have together today?” “What else?” “Is there anything we haven’t talked about that I should know to help care for you?”
Slide 34-

Communication….Helpful Phrases “I think I am beginning to understand what is bothering you” “Go on” “Uh huh” with head nodding “So what I heard is…” “Let me be sure I got this right” “I share your sorrow. I consider your father a good friend.” “Just so we are on the same page…”
