The results presented in this study show that most patients were females. On the other hand, the fact that the wife died meant that most of the patients were widowers. Another characteristic of the population was the level of education, mostly university graduates or at least high-school education. Most patients were Catholics, which is a critical aspect in the end-of-life approach. Knowing the religious or spiritual affiliation of patients and families helps for improved decision-making.<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0115"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">23</span></a></p><p id="par0165" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">Most of the patients in this cohort still need end-of-life care due to cancer illnesses; the broad range and the scope of cancer-related symptoms demand aggressive medical interventions for adequate management, in addition to the “relative” ease for an objective and subjective acknowledgment of the fact that every possible therapeutic resource available has been exhausted to move to a purely palliative approach, within the framework of a society that mostly refuses to accept euthanasia or assisted suicide as an option. This distribution by diagnoses is similar to the hospice care offered in the United States.<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0120"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">24</span></a></p><p id="par0170" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">Secondly, there are some neurological pathologies with evident additional difficulties, since these patients are no longer self-sufficient, including their sound judgment for decision-making, so it is up to the family to decide if the patient has not previously expressed his/her will. The patient representative finds it hard to decide what their loved one would have liked, and he/she is even influenced by his/her own interests (taking advantage of the patient's pension or housing and even getting the attention of the rest of the family).</p><p id="par0175" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">Care was mostly given at patient homes to avoid the ER or hospital admission, responding to the constantly changing needs of terminally ill patients for prompt relief. Such approach provides the proper environment and facilitates family decision-making in accordance with their realities and with adequate medical and professional information. It most be noted however that while most patients prefer to die at home, there is a group of patients and/or families who do not, and these differences shall be assertively managed.<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0125"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">25</span></a></p><p id="par0180" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">Hence it is desirable and recommendations have been made on the characteristics of palliative care programs where medical management should be the core, with nursing support, therapies and mental health, among other components.<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0130"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">26</span></a> It is not recommended to require time-consuming formalities to include patients in the program, but rather to have programs that are more flexible and suitable for terminally ill patients instead of simply enrolling them in programs for patients with chronic conditions. It is cumbersome to transfer terminally ill patients to and from doctor offices to deal with each of their multiple symptoms, or to repeat the medical record to each specialist visiting the patient at home, with no continuity of the process, which in itself is quite complex and difficult.</p><p id="par0185" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">The number of visits is an indicator of various factors; first, doing an intervention at the first visit is a sign of the urgency of end-of-life care. A second observation refers to a 24<span class="elsevierStyleHsp" style=""></span>×<span class="elsevierStyleHsp" style=""></span>7 hotline, for anticipating any events and keeping in mind a subcutaneous route as a rapid and effective approach for relieving symptoms. Thirdly, the presence of severe pain or any other symptoms as a source of direct stimulus, requires the use of analgesic doses to calm down the agonic patient so that the demise may occur a few hours or days later with no additional interventions required. Finally, when the patient expresses his/her final wishes to the family in a calm and friendly environment that moment becomes cathartic to relief tensions and reduce the anxiety of the final process.</p><p id="par0190" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">In terms of medicines used, the generalized availability of a moderately strong parenteral opiate at an affordable price such as tramadol that acts on the three types of pain makes it a convenient painkiller to relief pain, including cancer pain. Moreover, the tolerance to tramadol is excellent if antiemetic and laxative agents are anticipated, avoiding the very frequent psychotropic effects of non-synthetic opiates in bed-ridden patients.</p><p id="par0195" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">The use of subcutaneous anti-ulcer agents such as a prophylactic measure in erosive GI tract diseases is key and prevents the occurrence of alarming symptoms such as GI tract bleeding.</p><p id="par0200" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">Superficial sedation was used in almost three fourths of the patients cared for until their demise. This is a decision made by those patients with a strong family and social support network that favor pain relief rather than being fully aware till the end; they have been properly informed about what they should expect, they have sufficient economic and social resources to pay for the sedative that is expensive and some times difficult to find.</p><p id="par0205" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">Certain considerations are involved in the decision to maintain or remove hydration or nutritional support when the oral rout is compromised. Just as nobody made the decision to change the route for accomplishing the same purpose, it was not as easy to decide the removal of the gastrostomy tube, the catheter or the intravenous line. These decisions are extremely sensitive and nothing should be imposed; however, make sure that all the relevant information is shared. This approach gives both patients and family some options to decide in an extremely difficult situation.<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0135"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">27</span></a></p><p id="par0210" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">Lastly, a few general observations: presently, medicine provides us with powerful therapeutic tools for managing physical symptoms. End-of-life myths and preconceptions for using drugs that may have side effects – shorten the life span – should be put aside. We must continue to make headway in encouraging the availability of essential medicines for managing terminally ill patients,<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0140"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">28</span></a> and keep in mind that ultra-short acting benzodiazepines are safe and effective for superficial sedation of these patients.</p><p id="par0215" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">Absolutely it is better to avoid treating end-of-life patients in a cruel, inhuman or degrading manner at all times, but mostly when death is imminent.
