Abstract
The timely integration of palliative medicine is an important component in the treatment of various advanced diseases. While a German S‑3-guideline on palliative medicine exists for patients with incurable cancer, a recommendation for non-oncological patients and especially for palliative patients presenting in the emergency department or intensive care unit is missing to date. Based on the present consensus paper, the palliative care aspects of the respective medical disciplines are addressed. The timely integration of palliative care aims to improve quality of life and symptom control in clinical acute and emergency medicine as well as intensive care.
Die zeitgerechte Integration der Palliativmedizin ist ein wichtiger Bestandteil in der medizinischen Behandlung von verschiedenen Erkrankungen im fortgeschrittenen Stadium. Während eine erweiterte S3-Leitlinie zur Palliativmedizin für Patienten mit einer nicht heilbaren Krebserkrankung existiert, fehlt bis dato eine Leitlinie für nicht-onkologische Patienten bzw. eine konkrete Empfehlung für Patienten, die in der Notaufnahme oder auf Intensivstation behandelt werden. Basierend auf dem vorliegenden Konsensuspapier wird auf die palliativmedizinischen Aspekte der jeweiligen Fachdisziplinen eingegangen. Durch die zeitgerechte Integration der Palliativversorgung soll eine verbesserte Lebensqualität und Symptomlinderung in der klinischen Akut- und Notfallmedizin sowie Intensivmedizin erreicht werden.
Keywords: Acute medicine; Intensive care; Palliative care; Quality of life; Timely integration.
