Abstract
- The article presents a follow-up study which investigates whether the practice of continuous palliative sedation has changed after the introduction of a national guideline in Netherlands. It discusses the results of the study including the reported last case of continuous sedation in both the baseline and follow-up studies and the significant increase in patient involvement. It concludes that physicians reported changes in palliative sedation practice comply with the recommendations of the released guidance, in which the use of benzodiazepines for sedation increased.
