Palliative Emergencies

Abstract

Abstract This chapter highlights four emergencies that occur in palliative care: hemorrhage, spinal cord compression, seizures, and superior vena cava syndrome. Palliative advance practice registered nurses (APRNs) should understand their etiology, pathophysiology, workup, and management so they can rapidly and expertly respond to these emergencies. Palliative APRNs possess a unique skill set that combines holistic care of patients with the ability to manage acute, often potentially devastating symptoms that often affect patients’ goals and wishes. Goals of care can be static, and the disease state needs to be considered when making treatment and management decisions for these palliative emergencies.
