  • Palliative sedation (PS) is a medical approach to alleviate severe, untreatable symptoms in terminally ill patients, and requires thorough discussions with patients and families before implementation.
  • A study was conducted comparing PS in inpatient settings (palliative care unit) and outpatient settings (hospice and home care) from July 2017 to June 2018, focusing on demographics, sedation protocols, and satisfaction levels among staff and families.
