"Quality palliative and end-of-life care in
the ICU is an ethical imperative. Initiating
early discussion about patient preferences
and palliative needs and structured daily
reassessment is an approach that promotes
excellent palliative care simultaneously
with curative and life-sustaining therapies
in the ICU."(Title of Study: GOALS OF CARE IN THE ICU PALLIATIVE CARE AT THE END OF LIFE)
