A member asked:
If a pt is in a critical condition then would it be the standard practise to pre-arrange for possible palliative care if the pt is already in pain?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Pretty much: For safe and better symptom control. In critical conditions pain control becomes delicate since most pain meds will affect kidney and liver function or depress respiration.
