Outline of Final Research Achievements |
The purpose of this study was to develop hospice care for in-home ALS patients who do not want to initiate tracheostomy positive pressure ventilation. Many unpredicted situations approaching death were emerged: abrupt death, or use of life-sustaining therapy on their respiratory failure. Health care providers need to support for the decision-making about medical treatment and place of death, provide high-quality palliative care, and prepare advanced directives from early stage, and share the goal of terminal care among team members, based on multi-disciplinary collaboration in order to accomplish the patient’s desire about place of death. We recommend the further study to develop palliative care by various medical treatments for respiratory insufficiency.
