Summary: End-of-life patients present a variety of symptoms that cause suffering for them and their respective families. Health professionals throughout their university, internship and medical careers are ill-prepared to manage and improve the quality of life of these patients. This article aims to provide basic skills in the symptomatic management of end-of-life patients, focusing in particular on the control of pain, dyspnoea, fatigue, nausea, vomiting and anorexia. It also aims to draw attention to basic concepts of control concerning refractory symptoms and palliative sedation.

Os profissionais de saúde ao longo da faculdade, internato e carreira médica são pouco preparados para gerir e melhorar a qualidade de vida destes doentes. O presente artigo pretende fornecer competências básicas no controlo sintomático dos doentes em fim de vida, focando em particular o controlo da dor, dispneia, fadiga, náuseas, vómitos e anorexia. Pretende-se ainda alertar para conceitos básicos sobre controlo de sintomas refratários e a sedação paliativa.Ordem dos Médicos2017-01-31info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersioninfo:eu-repo/semantics/articleapplication/pdfapplication/pdfapplication/mswordapplication/pdfhttps://www.actamedicaportuguesa.com/revista/index.php/amp/article/view/7626oai:ojs.www.actamedicaportuguesa.com:article/7626Acta Médica Portuguesa; Vol. 30 No. 1 (2017): January; 61-68Acta Médica Portuguesa; Vol. 30 N.º 1 (2017): Janeiro; 61-681646-07580870-399Xreponame:Repositórios Científicos de Acesso Aberto de Portugal (RCAAP)instname:FCCN, serviços digitais da FCT – Fundação para a Ciência e a Tecnologiainstacron:RCAAPengporhttps://www.actamedicaportuguesa.com/revista/index.php/amp/article/view/7626https://www.actamedicaportuguesa.com/revista/index.php/amp/article/view/7626/4894https://www.actamedicaportuguesa.com/revista/index.php/amp/article/view/7626/8556https://www.actamedicaportuguesa.com/revista/index.php/amp/article/view/7626/8660https://www.actamedicaportuguesa.com/revista/index.php/amp/article/view/7626/8723Direitos de Autor (c) 2017 Acta Médica Portuguesainfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessAlves, MarianaAbril, RitaNeto, Isabel Galriça2022-12-20T11:05:17Zoai:ojs.www.actamedicaportuguesa.com:article/7626Portal AgregadorONGhttps://www.rcaap.pt/oai/openaireinfo@rcaap.ptopendoar:https://opendoar.ac.uk/repository/71602025-05-28T10:40:51.628067Repositórios Científicos de Acesso Aberto de Portugal (RCAAP) - FCCN, serviços digitais da FCT – Fundação para a Ciência e a Tecnologiafalse
