Abstract
A person at the end of life may present uncomfortable symptoms becoming refractory to an adequate treatment. In this case, the initiation of palliative sedation is indicated. Most sedated inpatients die outside a specialized palliative care unit. Palliative sedation must be initiated and adapted according to the best clinical practices. This article describes the processes associated with palliative sedation in a hospital unit.
