Prise en charge palliative précoce de la dyspnée dans les maladies pulmonaires
Article indépendant
Dyspnoea in chronic respiratory disease is a very frequent symptom with a significant impact on quality of life (QoL). The aim of palliative care is to improve and maintain the QoL of patients with life-threatening diseases and its early implementation is now recommended in many evolving pulmonary diseases. The effectiveness of symptomatic treatments to relieve refractory breathlessness (morphine, oxygen supply, hypnosis, pulmonary rehabilitation) is often limited. These measures are more effective if offered early in the holistic management of the patient. This article illustrates and describes, with the help of a clinical situation, these treatments options and the collaborations established between the palliative care and pneumology divisions.
