European Society of Intensive Care Medicine guidelines on end-of-life and palliative care in the intensive care unit

An ESICM Talk powered by the ICM Journal & the NEXT Committee

The latest guidelines released from the European Society of Intensive Care Medicine (ESICM) are about end-of-life (EOL) and palliative care for critically ill adults! This comprehensive work, developed by an international, multi-disciplinary team of clinical experts, a methodologist, and patient and family representatives, is now accessible to all clinicians. We had the privilege of interviewing Prof. Kesecioglu, who led this remarkable project.

Listen to this interview, explore the rationale and methodology behind the guidelines, and hear the initial feedback following their release.
