Abstract
- The article discusses a study in the Netherlands regarding the experiences of nurses involved in palliative sedation at home. Such study involved 387 nurses that provide medical technical care in 2007, 201 of which filled out the questionnaire. 42% of the respondents revealed that sedation is insufficiently effective. It is concluded that the Dutch guideline for palliative sedation is followed adequately but shortcomings in medication policy, communication, and medical control were found out.
