Thirst or dry mouth in dying patients?-A qualitative study of palliative care physicians' experiences
CONCLUSIONS: The palliative care physicians had different experiences regarding thirst, from thirst never arising, to a lack of awareness. They thought good mouth care worked well to alleviate the feeling of thirst and dry mouth. Most physicians did not want to give patients drips, while some did. This study indicates that there are many unanswered questions when it comes to thirst at end-of-life and that further research is needed.PMID:37585424 | DOI:10.1371/journal.pone.0290075

JPSM Controversies in Palliative care: “What is the most important, measurable goal of serious illness conversations in the ambulatory setting?”
There is widespread agreement that clinicians should talk to seriously ill patients and their families about their illness. However, advance directives as a quality metric have been called into question because of the lack of data that these conversations lead to goal-concordant care. The controversy has led many to re-examine the purpose of conversations with seriously ill patients and what should be discussed in ambulatory visits.  In this Controversies in Palliative care, experts in palliative care review the literature and suggest both how it influences their clinical practice and what research needs to be done to cla...

Characteristics of patients diagnosed with pancreatic cancer who access palliative care: An observational study
ConclusionA large proportion of first-time specialist PC episodes in pancreatic cancer begin at a deteriorating phase and end in death, suggesting late access to PC. Timely referrals to community-based specialist PC, access in regional/remote areas, as well as development of culturally diverse support systems require further investigation.

Home High Flow Nasal Therapy for Patients at End of Life: Benefits, Hopes, and Goals of Care
We read with great interest the article “High Flow Nasal Cannula in Patients with Cancer at the End of Life” by Bramati et al.1 assessing the rate of successful liberation from high flow nasal therapy (HFNT) in patients with cancer admitted to a palliative and supportive care unit. The authors showed that only a small proportion of pa tients with cancer at the end of life can be liberated from HFNT, raising the important issue of discussing the goals of care among clinicians’ staff and families before starting a trial of treatment.

Cancers, Vol. 15, Pages 4076: Palliative Care Clinician Perspectives on Person-Centered End-of-Life Communication for Racially and Culturally Minoritized Persons with Cancer
Ferrell The aim of this study was to examine interdisciplinary clinicians’ perceptions of priorities in serious illness communication and shared decision-making with racially and culturally minoritized persons at end of life. Clinicians (N = 152) read a detailed case study about a patient self-identifying as Black and American Indian who describes mistrust of the healthcare system. Participants then responded to three open-ended questions about communication strategies and approaches they would employ in providing care. We conducted a thematic analysis of participants’ responses to questions...
