Dyspnea in dying patients.

Abstract

Dyspnea is common in terminally ill patients and is often fairly difficult to control. If specific causes cannot be identified or treated, general measures to relieve symptoms should be used. Nondrug measures (eg, discussion and explanation with the patient) and drug measures (eg, morphine) can be used to control the dyspnea, although side effects, such as sedation, can be problematic.
