Abstract

Objective: Previous literature has suggested that laws and regulations may impact the use of palliative sedation. Our present study compares the attitudes of French-speaking physicians practicing in the Quebec and Swiss environments, where different laws are in place regarding physician-assisted suicide. Method: Data were drawn from two prior studies, one by Blondeau and colleagues and another by Beauverd and coworkers, employing the same two-by-two experimental design with length of prognosis and type of suffering as independent variables. Both the effect of these variables and the effect of their interaction on Swiss and Quebec physicians' attitudes toward sedation were compared. The written comments of respondents were submitted to a qualitative content analysis and summarized in a comparative perspective. Results: The analysis of variance showed that only the type of suffering had an effect on physicians' attitudes toward sedation. The results of the Wilcoxon test indicated that the attitudes of physicians from Quebec and Switzerland tended to be different for two vignettes: long-term prognosis with existential suffering (p = 0.0577) and short-term prognosis with physical suffering (p = 0.0914). In both cases, the Swiss physicians were less prone to palliative sedation. Significance of results: The attitudes of physicians from Quebec and Switzerland toward palliative sedation, particularly regarding prognosis and type of suffering, seem similar. However, the results suggest that physicians from Quebec could be slightly more open to palliative sedation, even though most were not in favor of this practice as an answer to end-of-life existential suffering

Abstract

Patients at the end-of-life may present with refractory symptoms which cannot be adequately relieved despite the use of all traditional means. When refractory symptoms lead to intolerable suffering, palliative sedation is a last recourse temporary or definitive treatment. While discussing ethical issues, clinical practice dimensions of palliative sedation are explored in this article.

Abstract

Efficacy of treatments used in patients at the end-of-life must be evaluated according to ethical issues and specificities of the palliative population, i.e.: major vulnerability, difficulties to obtain informed consent, fragility of balance between research and clinical role, problems to evaluate risks and benefits of palliative care research. Improvements in the use of opioids have come from clinical research. Treatment of delirium has improved thanks to clinical trials conducted in cancer and AIDS patients. Emerging themes in palliative medicine now come with alleviating moral distress and utility of psychotherapeutic approach as well as the place of spirituality measured through quality-of-life evaluation.
