When caring for a patient nearing the end of his or her life, paramedics often need to make the difficult decision as to whether hospital admission is appropriate; meaning that an understanding palliative and end-of-life care is often integral to their role. This book provides a comprehensive overview of palliative and end-of-life care and how it fits in with the role of the paramedic. Chapters incorporate case scenarios to help the reader apply theory to practice and cover a range of issues such as ethics, end-of-life communication, handling bereaved relatives, as well as looking at those illnesses where a palliative approach might be beneficial. It also offers information on reversible palliative care emergencies that do require acute admission.
