Description
An account of the resource
INTRODUCTION: Palliative care involves management of medical, psychological, mental and social symptoms of children with life-threatening illnesses. AIMS: The article describes the organization and function of a multidisciplinary palliative care service within the pediatric hospital. The service supports children throughout their follow-up: in admission, in the community and in home care. METHODS: Retrospective summary of data from the hospital database. RESULTS: Over the last two years, seventy-five children with life-threatening illnesses were followed and treated by the palliative care team. Medical, nursing, psychosocial, educational and alternative medicine personnel were part of the team; 32 children died, 15 of them died in home hospice. Ten of the children were discharged to home hospice as an only alternative to prolonged admission. Financial coverage was provided by the health maintenance organizations. CONCLUSIONS: Hospital-based palliative care may provide long-term holistic support to the families and medical teams at the end of life. Long-term support of palliative care service is feasible and may be highly valuable to the children and the medical teams. DISCUSSION: Children at end-of-life require complicated multidisciplinary follow-up during admissions and at home. A hospital-based palliative care team - involving all caretakers, may improve holistic long-term support at the end of life.

10.1542/6315738932112Video AbstractPEDS-VA_2022-0589056315738932112Many patients receiving pediatric palliative care (PPC) present with surgically treatable problems. The role of surgery in the care of these patients, however, has not yet been defined. We conducted a cohort study of children receiving PPC to assess the incidence, type, and likely purpose of surgical interventions performed after the initiation of PPC.We performed a cohort analysis of surgical interventions performed on children enrolled in an ongoing, multicenter, prospective cohort study. Patients aged <30 years receiving PPC services were eligible for inclusion in the study. Analyses included descriptive and comparative statistics, as well as logistic regression models.After initiation of PPC, 81.1% (n = 488) of patients had undergone at least 1 surgical intervention (range, 1–71) with a median of 4 interventions (interquartile range, 1–9). The most frequent surgical interventions were feeding tubes, endoscopic biopsy, tracheostomy, bone marrow biopsy, tunneled catheters, bronchoscopy, and chest tube placement, followed by sternum closure, abdominal closure, atrial and ventricular septal defect repairs, and heart transplantation. Children who underwent surgical interventions were statistically less likely to die while receiving PPC (29% vs 40%, P < .03).Most children receiving PPC services undergo at least 1 surgical intervention, and many undergo numerous interventions. Undergoing intervention is not futile because surgical intervention is associated with longer survival. Various patient populations that are more likely, as well as less likely, to undergo surgical intervention warrant specific focus.
