13.1.0.1 📌 一頁重點整理 (TL;DR)

  • Palliative care ≠ Hospice
    • Palliative care 任何 stage(serious illness)都可介入
    • Hospice 預期 < 6 個月生命
  • Palliative care 4 個 domains:physical、psychological、social、spiritual
  • 早期 palliative care 改善 QoL + 甚至 survival(Temel et al. 2010 lung CA)
  • Symptom management 8 大重點:pain、dyspnea、nausea、fatigue、depression、anxiety、constipation、anorexia
  • Pain ladder (WHO):non-opioid → weak opioid → strong opioid
  • Bad news 告知 SPIKES:Setting、Perception、Invitation、Knowledge、Emotions、Strategy
  • Goals-of-care 對話 是 longitudinal
  • Withdrawing life-sustaining treatment 是 ethical + 常見實踐

🎯 三件事必須記住 1. Palliative ≠ Hospice 2. 早期介入更好 3. Bad news 用 SPIKES


13.1.0.2 🧠 核心概念

13.1.0.2.1 Palliative Care vs Hospice
面向 Palliative Care Hospice
適應症 任何 serious illness 預期 < 6 mo
Curative tx 可同時 通常停止
提供者 Hospital、clinic、home Home、hospice facility
給付 健保給付 Medicare hospice benefit (US)
焦點 QoL + symptom + family 同 + dying process
13.1.0.2.2 Palliative Care 4 Domains
  1. Physical:pain、symptom
  2. Psychological:depression、anxiety、fear
  3. Social:family、financial、caregiving
  4. Spiritual:meaning、religion、forgiveness

→ Multidisciplinary team approach

13.1.0.2.3 早期 Palliative Care Evidence

Temel et al. 2010 NEJM:metastatic NSCLC 隨機分組 - Standard care vs early palliative care + standard - Early palliative:QoL 更好、depression 少、survival 更長(11.6 vs 8.9 月) - → 翻轉「palliative = giving up」誤解

13.1.0.2.4 主要 Symptom Management
13.1.0.2.4.1 Pain

WHO Analgesic Ladder: 1. Step 1: Non-opioid(acetaminophen、NSAID)± adjuvant 2. Step 2: Weak opioid(codeine、tramadol)± non-opioid ± adjuvant 3. Step 3: Strong opioid(morphine、oxycodone、fentanyl)± non-opioid ± adjuvant

Adjuvants: - Neuropathic:gabapentin、pregabalin、TCA、SNRI - Bone pain:bisphosphonate、radiation - Visceral pain:anti-spasmodics

Opioid 原則: - Around-the-clock dosing for chronic pain - Breakthrough:immediate-release 10-15% daily total - Anticipate + prevent constipation(all opioids) - Anticipate nausea (first 1 wk often) - Rotate opioids if tolerance / side effect

13.1.0.2.4.2 Dyspnea
  • Treat underlying cause
  • Symptomatic:opioids(low-dose)、O2 if hypoxic、benzodiazepines for anxiety
  • Non-pharm:fan、positioning
13.1.0.2.4.3 Nausea/Vomiting
  • Specific cause-directed
  • Antiemetics:5HT3 antagonist、metoclopramide、haloperidol、olanzapine、dexamethasone

  • Underlying:anemia、depression、sleep
  • Energy conservation
  • Methylphenidate (selected)
13.1.0.2.4.5 Depression / Anxiety

  • Methylphenidate for rapid-onset
  • Benzodiazepine(careful)
  • Counseling、CBT
13.1.0.2.4.6 Constipation
  • Anticipate with all opioids
  • Senna + docusate first-line
  • Lactulose、polyethylene glycol next
  • Methylnaltrexone (opioid-induced)
13.1.0.2.4.7 Anorexia / Cachexia
  • Limited interventions(不是「吃多少 = 活多久」)
  • Megestrol、dronabinol(limited evidence)
  • Family education
13.1.0.2.5 Communication Skills
13.1.0.2.5.1 SPIKES Protocol(Bad News)

  • Emotions:empathic response
  • Strategy / Summary:給 next-step plan
13.1.0.2.5.2 Goals-of-Care Discussion
