Palliative Care · Clinical Specialties

How it begins

Un análisis científico, fisiopatológico y clínico detallado sobre el manejo paliativo de pacientes con patologías crónicas avanzadas no oncológicas. Este compendio técnico proporciona herramientas de estratificación pronóstica, pautas detalladas de control de síntomas refractarios, análisis bioéticos complejos en la toma de decisiones al final de la vida y protocolos terapéuticos específicos para poblaciones…
