  • Title: Management of Urgent Medical Conditions at the End of Life.
    Author: Skoch BM, Sinclair CT.
    Journal: Med Clin North Am; 2020 May; 104(3):525-538. PubMed ID: 32312413.
    Abstract:
    Medical emergencies at the end of life require recognition of patients at risk, so that a comprehensive assessment and plan of care can be put in place. Frequently, the interventions depend on the patient's underlying prognosis, location of care, and goals of care. The mere presence of a medical emergency often rapidly changes an estimated prognosis. Education of the patient and family may help empower them to adequately handle many situations when clinicians are not available.
