Palliative sedation with oral medicines in an infant with generalized severe junctional epidermolysis bullosa

Article

PASICHOW, Keith P. | FRIZZOLA, Meg | MILLER, Elissa G.

Generalized severe junctional epidermolysis bullosa is a rare mechanobullous skin disorder that is uniformly fatal. We present the case of an infant who received palliative pain management and ultimately proportionate palliative sedation. However, because of the extent of the patient's skin disease, we were unable to provide palliative medication through parenteral routes. We discuss the provision of enteral palliative sedation, including the pharmacology, and creative use of medications to achieve sufficient palliation in this difficult and unique situation.
