Palliative Care is an approach that improves the quality of life of patients and their families facing the problems associated with life-threatening illnesses, through the prevention and relief of suffering by means of early identification, impeccable assessment and treatment of pain and other problems, physical, psychosocial and spiritual.
The goal of Palliative Care is to treat as early as possible the symptoms and side effects of the disease. When a patient reaches a point at which treatment to destroy the disease is no longer warranted, palliative care becomes the total focus of care. It will continue to be given to alleviate the symptoms and emotional issues of disease. It focuses on caring, not curing. Palliative care is also called comfort care, supportive care and symptom management.
