Bagaimana saya tahu berapa lama saya akan hidup?

Sulit untuk menebak kapan orang akan mati. Beberapa gejala yang dapat membantu dalam mencari tahu berapa lama seseorang mungkin harus hidup meliputi:
 

Menit ke jam : periode lama tidak bernapas selama lebih dari 30 detik pada suatu waktu

Jam ke hari : pernapasan tidak merata; bintik-bintik berwarna berbeda pada kulit; tekanan darah atau kadar oksigen yang sangat rendah; lengan dan kaki yang membiru

Hari ke minggu : tidak ada asupan cairan atau tidak ada buang air kecil

Minggu ke bulan : stopping treatment for a progressive illness, which is an illness that gradually gets worse (for example, cancer), in people who can't get out of bed.

Months to a few years: spending more and more time in bed because of exhaustion and symptoms of the illness

As your quality of life gets worse, it is important to set new goals. This is especially important if medical treatments are not working or are causing side effects. Make sure that medical treatments are helping you or your loved ones achieve your goals.

SYNDROME OF IMMINENT DEATH

Stages of actively dying:
 

• Early
    + Bed bound
    + Loss of interest and/or ability to drink/eat
    + Cognitive changes: increasing time spend sleeping and/or delirium

 

• Middle
    + Further decline in mental status to obtundation (slow to arouse with stimulation; only brief periods of wakefulness)
 

• Late
    + Death rattle – pooled oral sections that are not cleared due to loss of swallowing reflex
    + Coma
    + Fever – usually from aspiration pneumonia
    + Altered respiratory pattern – periods of apnea, hyperpnea, or irregular breathing
    + Mottled extremities

End-of-life care is provided to people who have a medical condition that means they are likely to die within the next 12 months. Care services include physical, spiritual and psychosocial assessment, and care and treatment delivered by health professionals and ancillary staff.

End-of-life care should be core business for residential aged care providers but the quality of end-of-life care in residential aged care is patchy at best. Too often, people are transferred back and forth between hospitals and aged care facilities, as aged care facilities lack palliative care expertise and qualified staff to administer pain relief.

“This guidance is not attempting to answer the question ‘how long have I got?’ but more in answer to the question ‘what can we do?’ and is in response to the common way of thinking ‘Hope for the best but prepare for the worst’.
 

Three triggers for Supportive/ Palliative Care are suggested - to identify these patients we can use any combination of the following methods:


1. The surprise question - ‘Would you be surprised if this patient were to die in the next 6-12months’ - an intuitive question integrating co-morbidity, social and other factors. If you would not be surprised, then what measures might be taken to improve their quality of life now and in preparation for the dying stage. The surprise question can be applied to years/months/weeks/days and trigger the appropriate actions. The aim is to enable the right thing to happen at the right time. Some clinicians find it easier to ask themselves ‘Would you be surprised if this patient were still alive in 6-12 months?’


2. Choice / Need - The patient with advanced disease makes a choice for comfort care only, not ‘curative’ treatment, or is in special need of supportive / palliative care eg refusing renal transplant

 
3. Clinical indicators – General and Specific indicators of advanced disease for each of the three main end of life patient groups - cancer, organ failure, elderly frail/ dementia.”

DEATH AND DYING ARE INEVITABLE

How we care for the dying is an indicator
of how we care for all sick
and vulnerable people”

(National End of Life Care Strategy 2008)

Palliative and end of life care must be a priority.
The quality and accessibility of this care
will affect all of us
and it must be made consistently better
for all of us.

The needs of people of all ages
who are living with dying, death and bereavement,
their families, carers and communities must be addressed,
taking into account
their priorities, preferences and wishes.

‘PRINCIPLES OF A GOOD DEATH’,
are:
• to have an idea of when death is coming and what can be expected
• to be able to retain reasonable control of what happens
• to be afforded dignity and privacy
• to have control of pain and other symptoms
• to have access to necessary information and expertise
• to have access to any spiritual or emotional support required
• to have access to ‘hospice style’ quality care in any location
• to have control over who is present and who shares the end
• to be able to issue advance directives to ensure one’s wishes are respected
• to have time to say goodbye and to arrange important things
• to be able to leave when it is time and not to have life prolonged pointlessly.

Effective Palliative Care can ensure these principles are maintained and followed.

PATIENTS ARE ‘APPROACHING THE END OF LIFE’  
when they are likely to die within the next 12 months.

This includes patients whose death is imminent
(expected within a few hours or days)
and those with:

(a) advanced, progressive, incurable conditions
(b) general frailty and co-existing conditions
that mean they are expected  to die within 12 months
(c) existing conditions if they are at risk of dying
from a sudden acute crisis in their condition
(d) life-threatening acute conditions caused by
sudden catastrophic events.

WHAT DOES END OF LIFE MEAN?
End of life isn’t a period of time limited
to the final days, hours or weeks of life,
but a period when the person,
their family or healthcare professionals
recognise that the person might be
in the last phase of their life.

This will vary for different people.

END OF LIFE CARE

End of life care is provided to a person
who is thought to be in the final months of life
and aims to help people live well until they die.
Good end of life care allows a person to die
with dignity when the time  arrives,  
and  also  ensures  appropriate  support  is  
provided  to  families  and  carers  
before  and after death.

End  of  life  care  
is  not  just  for  cancer  sufferers  
but  for  any  condition  
from  which  a  person  will  not recover,  
like  dementia  
or chronic  obstructive  pulmonary  disease (COPD),  
and  those  who  are nearing the end of their life
as a result of age and frailty.
It also includes children and young people
with a terminal or life limiting illness.  


In  July  2013,  
NHS  Improving  Quality  collaborated  with  
the  Association  of  Ambulance  Chief Executives (AACE)
to publish a six step pathway for
the delivery of end of life care. 


The key points that apply to the ambulance service are:

Step 1 – Discussions as the end of life approaches
Step 2 – Assessment, care planning and review
Step 3 – Co-ordination of care
Step 4 – Delivery of high quality care in an acute hospital
Step 5 – Care in the last days of life
Step 6 – Care after death.

 ADVANCE CARE PLANNING

“While sudden changes in your life, such as you or a loved one being involved in an accident or becoming seriously ill, can be hard to prepare for emotionally, there are ways to ensure that you receive the type of compassionate care you want – when you need it most.” (https://coalitionccc.org)
