    Author: Makowski C, Marung H, Callies A, Knacke P, Kerner T.
    Journal: Anasthesiol Intensivmed Notfallmed Schmerzther; 2013 Mar; 48(2):90-6. PubMed ID: 23504463.
    Abstract:
    Emergency care for patients in palliative situations is not a rare event, but often difficult to handle, because training in palliative care for emergency physicians is often insufficient. This article proposes an algorithm that should facilitate the decision-making process in such emergencies. In addition, recommendations concerning the management of symptoms in the emergency medical services are presented.
