How long has her abdomen been extremely distended? Goals of care? Other? So what happened next? Medications for EOL Delirirum Benzodizepines Useful for alcohol-sedative drug withdrawal or anticholinergic excess Can cause paradoxical worsening of delirium Can be used as an adjunct to neuroleptics when severe agitation not controlled with neuroleptics alone Neuroleptics First-line pharmacological choice for symptom managment Haloperidol Best studied and agent of choice for most patients Has a favorable side-effect profile, but has potential side effects with higher doses and prolonged use Can be given PO/PR/SC/IV, starting doses 0.5 mg to 1 mg, can titrate hourly. Can be scheduled in divided doses. Medications for EOL Deliriumcontinued Other neuroleptics-thorazine Older typical neuroleptic May have higher incidence of EPS, sedation, and hypotension Some advocate its use in dying patients when sedation is desired Atypical neuroleptics Olanzapine, quetiapine, risperidone Scant evidence for use with delirium Not first line Associated with fewer drug-induced movement disorders?agents of choice with NMDs These meds are given daily to TID depending on the medication and should only be titrated over days to a week May not work as fast as conventional antipsychotics Quetiapine is the most sedating of this group 5
6 Non-pharmacologic management Always use Reduce or increase sensory stimulation as needed Bed sitters Frequent reorientation Time permitting: CAM Delirium in terminally ill patients Is a reliable indicator of death within days to weeks End-of-life restlessness: may include Skin mottling and cool extremities Mouth breathing with hyper-extended neck Respiratory pattern changes such as Cheyne-Stokes, shallow breathing Calling out or speaking to deceased families or friends Other EOL phenomenon Periods of deepening somnolence References 1.
