RT Journal Article SR Electronic T1 Propofol for painful procedures in palliative care JF BMJ Supportive & Palliative Care JO BMJ Support Palliat Care FD British Medical Journal Publishing Group SP 124 OP 125 DO 10.1136/bmjspcare-2020-002766 VO 11 IS 2 A1 Jacquin, Pierre-Henri A1 Ciais, Jean-François A1 Marrec, Amélie A1 Hebert, Pascal YR 2021 UL http://spcare.bmj.com/content/11/2/124.abstract AB Refractory pain during care procedures causes a real challenge for terminally ill patients. We are hereby publishing three cases of patients who received repeated procedural sedations using propofol during the painful care procedures. All patients experience pain relief with no side effects although care procedures initially were a traumatic experience to them despite the usual medication. This therapeutic solution, which would need to be assessed on a case-by-case basis by evaluating the benefit–risk balance, could become a suitable comfort treatment used by palliative care teams.
