Received Date: Jun 02, 2024 / Published Date: Jun 28, 2024
Abstract
Palliative sedation is a complex medical intervention used to alleviate severe suffering in terminally ill patients nearing the end of life. This review explores the legal and ethical considerations surrounding the practice of palliative sedation, focusing on principles of patient autonomy, beneficence, and justice. Furthermore, discussions encompass the importance of interdisciplinary collaboration, communication strategies with patients and families, and advance care planning in navigating complex legal and ethical landscapes. By addressing these issues, healthcare providers can ensure compassionate and ethical practices in palliative sedation, respecting patient wishes and promoting dignity at the end of life.
