Palliative Medications at Terminal Extubation: A Secondary Analysis From DONATE Study Data

Video Transcription

Video Summary

The presenter discusses a secondary analysis of data from the DONATE registry, focusing on pain and sedation at the time of terminal extubation. The study aimed to describe the use of opioids and benzodiazepines in a large cohort of patients who died within one hour of terminal extubation in the United States. The analysis found that the use of these medications did not hasten death, and they were used in a sizable proportion of patients. However, there were some limitations to the study, such as the retrospective nature and the lack of certain variables. Overall, the study provides insights into the use of analgesia and sedation at the end of life.
