Development of a systematic multidisciplinary clinical and teaching model for the palliative approaches in patients with severe lung failure

Figures & data

Figure 1. Personalized management and palliation includes symtom treatment, rehabilitation, patient education and support. Palliative support, including pyschological, social and existential support, may continue into care for the informal caregiver after the patient’s death. Routine and early Advance Care Planning (ACP) provide the ability to adjust treatment goals during the disease trajectory.

Figure 2. The development of the model. There are 3 different types of feedback, from clinicians who take the model into clinical use, from teaching sessions and from experts.
