Today on ACEP Frontline, host Dr. Ryan Stanton talks to Dr. Mark Rosenberg about the patient’s end-of-life care. When asked “how do you want to die”, most relatively healthy people will say, “in my sleep” or “I just want to drop dead”, but the reality is, 6.4% of population in North American will die from a sudden death episode. Statistically the rest of the population will die from a cancer trajectory, organ failure trajectory, or dementia. Each of these areas can benefit from palliative care. Studies show that people live longer and had better quality of life when provided with palliative care than those get aggressive treatment. Listen in as Dr. Rosenberg and Dr. Stanton talk about how to care for the end-of-life patient and their loved ones when they come into the emergency department.
