Palliative care teams frequently encounter patients and families who
make decisions that feel irrational or even foolish to the
professionals. Typically these cases involve parental insistence on
continuing treatment which, from the clinicians’ perspectives, will only
prolong the child’s suffering and will not result in additional
“quality time” for the child. Especially when these cases involved
continued complex care in the hospital, particularly in an ICU with
multi-system organ failure, palliative care team members feel
frustrated, even angry with the parents. The “worst” cases involve
situations when the team members believe that the patient either current
does not want to continue treatment or previously expressed sentiments
that have left the clinicians feeling the child, now no longer able to
communicate, would not want “to be kept alive this way.”
Such
cases can deplete a clinical teams’ energy or spark strife within the
team. This session will provide examples of challenging cases and
provide arguments for continued involvement with and support of families
facing the loss of their child.
