Both nausea and vomiting can be distressing. Haloperidol is commonly prescribed to relieve these symptoms. This is an updated version of the original Cochrane review published in Issue 2, 2009, of Haloperidol for the treatment of nausea and vomiting in palliative care patients. OBJECTIVES: To evaluate the efficacy (...) and adverse events associated with the use of haloperidol for the treatment of nausea and vomiting in palliative care patients. SEARCH METHODS: For this updated review, we performed updated searches of CENTRAL, EMBASE and MEDLINE in November 2013 and in November 2014. We searched controlled trials registers in March 2015 to identify any ongoing or unpublished trials. We imposed no language restrictions. For the original review, we performed database searching in August 2007, including CENTRAL, MEDLINE

Training and supportive programs for palliative care volunteers in community settings. BACKGROUND: Palliative care is specialised health care to support people living with a terminal illness and their families. The involvement of volunteers can extend the range of activities offered by palliative care services, particularly for those living in the community. Activities undertaken by palliative care volunteers vary considerably but can be practical, social or emotional in nature. The types (...) of training and support provided to these volunteers are likely to affect the volunteers' effectiveness in their role and influence the quality of care provided to palliative care clients and their families. Training and support can also have considerable resource implications for palliative care organisations, which makes it important to know how to provide this training and support as effectively as possible. OBJECTIVES: To assess the effects of training and support strategies for palliative care

Palliative care for patients with advanced fibrotic lung disease: a randomised controlled phase II and feasibility trial of a community case conference intervention 26103995 2015 08 14 2015 11 05 2015 08 14 1468-3296 70 9 2015 Sep Thorax Thorax Palliative care for patients with advanced fibrotic lung disease: a randomised controlled phase II and feasibility trial of a community case conference intervention. 830-9 10.1136/thoraxjnl-2014-206583 Those affected by advanced fibrotic interstitial (...) lung diseases (ILDs) have considerable unmet symptom and psychological needs. Case conferencing has been proposed to address these issues, but requires evaluation. To obtain preliminary information on the impact of a case conference intervention delivered in the home (Hospital2Home) on palliative care concerns of patients and their carers, and to evaluate feasibility and acceptability. Hospital2Home was trialled at a specialist centre using a Phase II fast-track randomised controlled trial

Laxatives for the management of constipation in people receiving palliative care. BACKGROUND: This article describes the second update of a Cochrane review on the effectiveness of laxatives for the management of constipation in people receiving palliative care. Previous versions were published in 2006 and 2010 where we also evaluated trials of methylnaltrexone; these trials have been removed as they are included in another review in press. In these earlier versions, we drew no conclusions (...) on individual effectiveness of different laxatives because of the limited number of evaluations. This is despite constipation being common in palliative care, generating considerable suffering due to the unpleasant physical symptoms and the availability of a wide range of laxatives with known differences in effect in other populations. OBJECTIVES: To determine the effectiveness and differential efficacy of laxatives used to manage constipation in people receiving palliative care. SEARCH METHODS: We searched

Dignity-conserving care in palliative care settings: An integrative review 25706903 2015 06 24 2016 02 01 2015 06 24 1365-2702 24 13-14 2015 Jul Journal of clinical nursing J Clin Nurs Dignity-conserving care in palliative care settings: An integrative review. 1743-72 10.1111/jocn.12791 To report an integrative review of evidence relating to dignity-conserving care in palliative care settings. It will also suggest avenues for future research. Research suggests that dignity is welcomed by those (...) receiving palliative and end of life care. However, as dignity is a subjective term, it is not always explicit how this may be employed by nurses. Given that the preferred place of care for patients with palliative care needs is the home, the issue of dignity may be particularly important for community nurses. Therefore, synthesising evidence of dignity-conserving care for community nurses caring for people with palliative care needs provides clarity in a complex area of palliative care research

Silent night: retrospective database study assessing possibility of "weekend effect" in palliative care. OBJECTIVE: To compare the mortality of patients in a palliative care unit on working days with that on weekends and public holidays. DESIGN: Retrospective database study. SETTING: Palliative care unit in Germany. POPULATION: All admissions to palliative care unit between 1 January 1997 and 31 December 2008. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURE: The impact of day type (working days or weekends and public (...) holidays) on mortality was analysed using Poisson regression models. RESULTS: A total of 2565 admitted patients and 1325 deaths were recorded. Of the deaths, 448 (33.8%) occurred on weekends and public holidays. The mortality rate on weekends and public holidays was 18% higher than that on working days (mortality rate ratio 1.18, 95% confidence interval 1.05 to 1.32; P=0.005). CONCLUSION: Patients in the palliative care unit were at higher risk of dying on weekends and public holidays. In the absence

Droperidol for treatment of nausea and vomiting in palliative care patients. BACKGROUND: This is an updated version of the original Cochrane review published in Issue 10, 2010, on droperidol for the treatment of nausea and vomiting in palliative care patients. Nausea and vomiting are common symptoms in patients with terminal illness and can be very unpleasant and distressing. There are several different types of antiemetic treatments that can be used to control these symptoms. Droperidol (...) is an antipsychotic drug and has been used and studied as an antiemetic in the management of postoperative and chemotherapy nausea and vomiting. OBJECTIVES: To evaluate the efficacy and adverse events (both minor and serious) associated with the use of droperidol for the treatment of nausea and vomiting in palliative care patients. SEARCH METHODS: We searched electronic databases including CENTRAL, MEDLINE (1950-), EMBASE (1980-), CINAHL (1981-) and AMED (1985-), using relevant search terms and synonyms

Stewart S, MacIntyre K, Hole DJ, Capewell S, McMurray JJ More “malignant” than cancer? Five-year survival (...) following a first admission with heart failure. Eur J Heart Fail 2001;3:315-22 Looking through the Palliative Care section of the , you will find a great wealth of reviews, from the very general to the very specific. Almost all of them relate to dying from cancer. Most people, however, die from conditions other than cancer; and conversely most people with cancer do not die from it. The average age of patients in acute medical hospital wards is now 80 or over, and the commonest cause for admission
