Abstract

Abstract Emergency medicine encompasses prehospital and hospital-based unscheduled care, responding to patients, families, caregivers, and other clinical providers in a time of decompensation. The word palliate is a verb—it infers action. It means “to allay, moderate or reduce the intensity of an experience.” Palliative care is the physical, spiritual, psychological, and social aspects of supportive care in serious illness from diagnosis to death or cure. When patients facing serious illness interface the emergency care system, they are often frightened, vulnerable, and suffering. Emergency clinicians are experts in determining the action—what to do next. This book offers a case-based format to engage, equip, and challenge its readers to learn and learn more about the palliation of serious illness. Readers will contemplate common scenarios in serious illnesses from early to late-stage illness to include end of life across the age continuum. The ability for the emergency provider to traverse, navigate and palliate the stress and practical aspects of managing patients with serious illness requires deep knowledge and skills. It is the goal of this book to advance the practice of palliative care in the emergency setting by engaging its readers to validate, innovate, and palliate.
