Abbé Émile Warré was born on this day in 1867 (Some sources suggest May 9th) A French abbot, he devised a simple, economical, 'bee-friendly' hive known as the 'People (Warré) Hive.' The hive consists small 300mm x 210mm square boxes. It doesn't use frames, just eight top bars
Today was the first time utilising the recently implemented end of life PGD suite. It allowed myself and my colleagues to initiate rapid symptom relief and meet the patient's priorities of care safely and effectively whilst establishing an onward chain of care. Empowering.
The financial costs of anticipatory prescribing: Median prescription cost £43.17 & used drug cost £2.16 Our new paper in @PalliativeMedJ @lloydamorgan17 @PELi_Cam Pls share widely ⬇️ ⬇️ @WeCommNurses @RCNDNForum @hospiceuk @LearnPEOLC @HomesQi @TheQNI doi.org/10.1177/026921…
@WardleParker @OFFICIALIOWAS Other key theme was the PGD was predominantly used in those overlooked by "traditional models" of palliative care eg those with dementia, chronic illnesses with unpredictable acute exacerbations etc. The paramedics gave immediate symptom relief then flagged to us to pick up

Unpopular opinion: You can learn more about a child’s clinical condition by spending a few moments looking at them than you can by attaching any monitor.
@DrLindaDykes Times to #HaveTheConversation 1. Make it a routine part of initial assessment: "Any PoA, ADRT etc I should make a note of? No? Well, .... let me tell you about how those could help you...' 2. "Any allergies? Any treatments you wouldn't want?" 3. ➡️
🗣️🗣️🗣️ 'Dont ask a patient "What do you want us to do if your heart stops?" unless they would be a candidate for CPR.' 🗣️🗣️🗣️ #MakeDyingBetter
🗣️🗣️🗣️ 'CPR is not a treatment for ordinary dying.' 🗣️🗣️🗣️ #MakeDyingBetter
Breathing changes at the very end of life - breaths become cyclical, going fast and slow with pauses. It may sound like they are panting - they aren't, it's just the respiratory centre in the brain shutting down. #MakingDyingBetter
Next problematic theme is patients who wish to stop eating & drinking to hasten their death - Voluntary Stopping of Eating & Drinking (VSED). It is not "assisting a death" to support and palliate people whose capacitious wish is to do this. @sarahmalik450 at #makingDyingBetter
As the dying person becomes more deeply unconscious, they don't respond to secretions building up at the back of the throat - "the person is safely unconscious" - this is the "death rattle", and indicates deep levels of unconsciousness. #MakingDyingBetter
What can we learn from the death of the #Queen? The world has watched her live through the process of #OrdinaryDying, and yet dying went unspoken, un-named. Let's notice what nobody mentioned: we all saw the Queen going through the stages of ordinary dying. A 🧵... 1/

Updated PCF CSCI (continuous subcut [SC] infusion) chapter now online, including: 1. when to consider loading doses; a drug given by CSCI alone will take 3-5x the halflife to reach steady state, loading doses can relieve symptoms quicker when using longer halflife drugs
April updates to Palliative Care Formulary on MedicinesComplete include a new Quick Clinical Guide: Administering a short subcutaneous infusion (QCG SSCI). Find out more bit.ly/3PZ3McM
Another really interesting addition to the (sparse) literature on just-in-drugs A standout for me was that some were used wks/months before death for reversible conditions (parallel treatment of symptoms matters). May also reassure the reticent that JIC drugs don't hasten death

1/15 Why are statins administered at night? In this tweetorial I'll discuss the mechanistic and historical reasons for the frequently used QHS dosing schedule. And why it's often unnecessary. But before we get there, I'm curious: when do you prescribe/order/take statins?

@dignityindying Palliative care hasn’t had the chance to find out what its best efforts could be- chronically underfunded, under researched, unable to put enough boots on the ground out of hours. This has been the case for years even though the UK is seen as a world leader for end of life care.

@MikeStone2_EoL @doctorcaldwell @K_G_Spearpoint @katemasters67 @ProfMarkTaubert @ClareFuller17 @KitzingerCelia @sarasiobhan @DrZoeFritz Re-starting the heart won't rescue the dying body around the heart. Dying will proceed, within minutes for most but dragged out over painful days with chest damage from CPR for others. CPR isn't a treatment. Post-CPR treatment is ICU - again, futile if recovery is impossible.
Do you hate picking up the 'dizziness' charts because you have uncertainty around posterior strokes/the workup or identification? Its complicated, its nuanced, its.. DIZZYING (don't @ us). So Dr. @kateoc93 has gone and simplified it for us: emottawablog.com/2024/03/poster…
