- W2966342683 abstract "e19517 Background: Admission of cancer patients are on the rise in the Intensive Care Unit due to advancement in healthcare facilities. But limited number of ICU beds, health resources and lack of structured Palliative Care services are a matter of concern. Methods: A retrospective study was conducted in an Indian tertiary cancer centre from Jan – Jun 2010 to find out total number and cause of ICU admission of advanced cancer patients when a Palliative Care Department did not exist. Information source were case files and interviews after appropriate consent. Exclusion criteria - age < 18 years, post operative care, complications arising from a major surgery, established oncological emergencies, patients with curative intent. With a 24 hr Palliative Care department under operation from Aug 2010 - another similar study was performed from Jan – Jun 2011. Results: Jan – Jun 2010: Total admissions 542. 297 patients matched the exclusion criteria. Of the remaining 245 patients (45.2%) considered for the study 35 patients (14.2%) died. 11 patients (4.4%) were put on ventilator. Average occupancy of bed 5 days. Commonest cause was respiratory distress. Review of the case notes revealed 54 patients (22%) were admitted due to lack of Palliative Care service. Study was repeated from Jan – Jun 2011 after the initiation of a Palliative care Department from Aug 2010. Out of 487 patients, 195 patients (40%) were considered for study. 18 (9.2%) died. 6 patients (3%) were put on ventilator. The average duration of stay was 4 days. Components of Palliative Care like good communication, early consent from patients as to where they wish to die, do not resuscitate policy for some patients in the background of ethical issues, 24 hour Palliative care service, emergency helpline, home based care, good psychological counselling etc were identified as the key reasons for reduced admissions. Conclusions: Effective round the clock Palliative care service can increase ICU bed turnover, reduce misery of the patients and their family members, save resources, giving patients with longer survival chances a hope to live longer." @default.
