- W2231692455 abstract "8524 Background: There is limited information about the characteristics and outcomes of inpatient palliative care consults in cancer centers. Two mobile teams (MT) each with a physician, fellow, and a nurse, provide consultation to hospitalized patients (pts) with complex symptoms. Methods: We analyzed the pts characteristics and outcomes during a two-month period. The charts were reviewed for demographics, cancer data, reason for consultation, symptoms, interventions, and outcomes. Results: Sixty-one pts were analyzed. Pain was the main reason for a consult request in 46 pts (75%), delirium in 10 (16%), anxiety in 4 (7%) and constipation in 5 (8 %). Some pts had more than one reason. 56(92%) pts had metastatic disease, diagnosis for ≤1 year in 26 (42%) and ≤2 years in 44 (72%) (Median =17 months). The Edmonton Symptom Assessment Scale (ESAS), 0–10, is summarized in the table. We uncovered new issues at consultation, such as 20 pts (38%) screened positive for alcoholism with CAGE questionnaire and the 34 pts (56%) had clinical delirium. Features of opioids toxicity such as constipation (N=43;70%), confusion (N=35;57%) (Mean MMSE = 23 ± 5), hallucinations (N=21;34%), myoclonus (N=16;26%) and miosis (N=18;29%) were frequently identified. The MT interventions included imaging studies (23%), enema (43%), laxatives (49%), neuroleptics (54%), metoclopramide (39%), corticosteroids (25%). Half (N=30;50%) of the pts had opioid rotation and/or had counseling (N=27;46%). One out of two pts (N=30;49%) required transfer to the palliative care unit. Conclusions: Most pts had previously undiagnosed opioid toxicity, delirium, and other symptoms. Opioid toxicity occurred secondary to rapid opioid escalation, possibly linked to chemical coping, and psychosocial distress. The outcome of these pts improved by opioid rotation, adding laxatives, metoclopramide, neuroleptics, and steroids. [Table: see text] No significant financial relationships to disclose." @default.
