Upper arm movements in the last days of life : a new possible sign of impending death

Article

JULIAO, Miguel | SIMOES, Carolina | CALAVEIRAS, Patrícia | CAMARA, Paula | CASTELO-BRANCO, Miguel

One of the most crucial stages of palliative care is the last days and hours of life, which require special attention and knowledgeable identification of clinical signs described as signs of impending death (SID). Our case series of 11 patients receiving home palliative care describes bilateral hypoactive, stereotyped upper arm movements (scratching of the head, forehead, and nose) that were previously unknown or described, often accompanied by SID.
