Wat is intimiderende sedatie?
Het primaire doel van kortdurende of intermitterende palliatieve sedatie is rust brengen en de patiënt weer wakker laten worden. Gedacht kan worden aan het creëren van een time-out bij benauwde en/of angstige patiënten of om bijvoorbeeld ’s nachts diep te sederen en overdag niet.
Welke zorgvragers komen in aanmerking voor palliatieve zorg?
