Identifying and overcoming the barriers to high-quality palliative care in the intensive care unit. Abstract Text:

Judith E Nelson,

Initiatives to improve end-of-life care in intensive care units face several important barriers. These include inflated expectations for critical care therapies, which are shared by many clinicians and many patients and families; preoccupation with an unattainable level of prognostic certainty, delaying attention to palliative needs; and fragmentation of the healthcare team into separate "silos" of disciplines and specialties. The article reviews these barriers and relevant empirical evidence. Specific strategies to improve intensive care unit palliative care, including consultation by palliative care specialists, and palliative care quality measurement are discussed.
