Abstract
Background: In a pandemic, existing palliative care units may be inadequate and palliative care may need to be provided in other hospital units.
Aims: To review and improve the palliative care approach applied during a pandemic.
Methods: Studies published between 2019 and 2020 were examined using the keywords 'fighting against COVID-19 'and 'organisation' in the PubMed, Ebsco, ScienceDirect and Web of Science databases.
Findings: It was determined that the US Mass Critical Care Task Force created a framework for organising palliative care in the fight against the pandemic. It was determined that institutions and organisations implemented practices aligned with this framework during the pandemic. However, due to the evaluation, this framework was limited, and its scope should be expanded.
Conclusions: The recommendations in this review and indicated in italics will improve the palliative care approach to be applied during the pandemic.
背景:在大流行期间,现有的姑息治疗单位可能不足,可能需要在其他医院单位提供姑息治疗。目的:回顾和改进大流行期间应用的姑息治疗方法。方法:使用PubMed、Ebsco、ScienceDirect和Web of Science数据库中的关键词“抗击COVID-19”和“组织”对2019年至2020年间发表的研究进行了检查。研究结果:确定美国大规模重症监护工作组创建了一个框架,用于组织抗击大流行的姑息治疗。确定各机构和组织在大流行期间实施了与该框架一致的做法。然而,由于评价,这一框架是有限的,其范围应扩大。结论:本综述中的建议和斜体所示的建议将改善大流行期间应用的姑息治疗方法。
