Palliative Sedation
The use of proportional palliative sedation for the relief of refractory symptoms.
The "Palliative Sedation" project (palliative sedation - use of proportional palliative sedation to relieve refractory symptoms) aims to study the use of palliative sedation in several European countries. The project will study current practices and guidelines, and will include a prospective clinical study of palliative sedation. It will also focus on similarities and differences in the clinical and ethical aspects of this practice across Europe, and will formulate recommendations for an updated EAPC framework for palliative sedation.
An e-learning program is planned, as well as a workshop for further development and implementation. Project partners are located in Belgium, the Netherlands, England, Germany, Spain, Italy, Hungary and Romania.
