Palliative & end of life care is a small but critically important part of #pedsICU

Our community has the knowledge & skills that our patients need but we lack simple & robust frameworks

My talk on #pedsPC at @worldcongressic #WCIC19
@worldcongressic Few kids die but they die after long battles, with chronic illnesses & in hospital or #pedsICU

¾ kids who die in PICU do after WLST

= palliative care in the PICU is inextricably linked with care in the PICU, & we are the best ppl to manage it

@worldcongressic A simple & robust framework for palliative care in the #pedsICU

1. See clearly (use benefits vs burdens)
2. Build professional consensus
3. Create shared understanding w family
4. Offer active palliative care
