Palliative care in terminal cancer: characterization, pain management and ethical aspects
Keywords:
Patients, Palliative Care, Pain, Life QualityAbstract
Introduction: when Cancer patients reach the terminal phase of the disease, require palliative care. These procedures consist of the active and total care of diseases that have no response to curative treatment, in order to achieve the best possible quality of life by controlling the physical-psychic symptoms and the spiritual and social needs of patients.
Objective: to characterize palliative care in terminal cancer patients, to establish an updated bibliographical base that becomes future consultations on this topic.
Method: a bibliographic review was carried out in relation to the subject, with a total of 24 bibliographies. Scientific articles in English and Spanish were used, available in databases such as: Scielo, PubMed, Elsevier and in the Google Scholar search engine.
Development: palliative care in end-stage cancer patients is aimed at reducing pain and temporarily improving the manifestations of this disease. They are applied when it is certain that the prognosis is not positive and the outcome will be death. They encompass a series of guidelines and procedures necessary to face the end of the patient's life, complying with the rules of Bioethics. This care is necessary in a high percentage of terminal cancer patients.
Conclusions: palliative care responds to the need to ensure that patients in terminal stages of various diseases, and in particular cancer, find an integrated way to obtain the best care according to their symptoms. This care is the best resource for terminal cancer patients.
