Revisie van de richtlijn 'Dyspneu in de palliatieve fase'

Abstract

The guideline ‘Dyspnea in the palliative phase’ was revised in 2015. The members of the working group were mandated by several scientific, professional and patient organisations. On the basis of a bottleneck analysis several scientific questions were formulated. The questions about non-pharmacological and pharmacological symptomatic treatment of dyspnea were analysed evidence-based. In this paper a short summary is given of the most important conclusions and recommendations of the guideline.
