Background and objective: The Working Group on Ethics in Anesthesia and Intensive Care Medicine of the Austrian Society for Anesthesiology Resuscitation and Intensive Care Medicine (ÖGARI) already developed documentation tools for the adaption of therapeutic goals 10 years ago. Since then the practical implementation of Comfort Terminal Care in the daily routine in particular has raised numerous questions, which are discussed in this follow-up paper and answered in an evidence-based manner whenever possible. Results: The practical implementation of pain therapy and reduction of anxiety, stress and respiratory distress that are indicated in the context of Comfort Terminal Care are described in more detail. The measures that are not (or no longer) indicated, such as oxygen administration and ventilation as well as the administration of fluids and nutrition, are also commented on. Furthermore, recommendations are given regarding monitoring, (laboratory) findings and drug treatment and the importance of nursing actions in the context of Comfort Terminal Care is mentioned. Finally, the support for the next of kin and the procedure in the time after death are presented. Discussion: A change in treatment goals with a timely switch to Comfort Terminal Care enables good and humane care for seriously ill patients and their relatives at the end of life and the appreciation of their previous life with the possibility of positive experiences until the end.

The seminar paper discusses the so called ‚xenon‘ (ξενών) of the Pantokrator-Monastery, a foundation made by emperor John II. Comnenus. According to the foundation charter this nursing-institution was extremely well equipped with material and staff. Furthermore, it was characterized by a high degree of medical specialization. On the basis of the sources as well as previous research this paper tries to investigate, to what extent the equipment of the obviously quite short-living Pantokrator-Xenon was the average case in Byzantium at that time. A contextualization with the contemporary system of social welfare shows that the level of nursing was generally lower. Comparisons with similar institutions, like the also lavishly equipped xenon of the Lips-Monastery and the ‚orphanotropheion‘ of Alexios I. show that houses like the Pantokrator-Xenon definitely existed. However, they also suggest that a form of nursing, which is comparable to the one practiced in hospices, was more common in Byzantium. Furthermore the paper deals with the prominent role given to the Pantokrator-Monastery by the ruling Comnenian dynasty. The use of this place as imperial memorial- and burial place, as well as the display of imperial philantropy is probably causally related to the equipment of the Pantokrator-Xenon.

The article reports on aggression and violence being experienced almost daily in outpatient and inpatient care by health professionals in Austria. It is said that a quarter of all workplace aggression takes place in the healthcare sector. Studies show that the consequences of aggression and violence are underestimated overall. Leaders and grassroots personnel have little knowledge and skills regarding the effects of aggression and violence in the workplace.
