Primary palliative care in acute care surgery : an American Association for the Surgery of Trauma Critical Care Committee and Palliative Care Committee clinical consensus document
Article indépendant
The American Association for the Surgery of Trauma (AAST) Critical Care Committee develops clinical consensus documents to provide practical guidance on topics based on literature review, available evidence, and expert consensus. In collaboration with the AAST Palliative Care Committee, committee members sought to establish clinical consensus pertaining to incorporation of primary palliative care in acute care surgery. Primary palliative care is the provision of palliative care by the primary healthcare team rather than a specialty palliative care consultant. Primary palliative care includes but is not limited to providing patient-centered care, psychosocial and spiritual support, serious illness communication, pain and symptom management, advance care planning (ACP), and shared decision-making with a focus on establishing medical goals that align with the patient’s values. Shared decision-making acknowledges the importance of the patient’s autonomy and values while integrating medical expertise and evidence-based information to arrive at treatment decisions that align with the patient’s overall goals. In this article, we address the provision of primary palliative care by the acute care surgeon.
