TY - JOUR AU - Kremling, Alexander AU - Schildmann, Jan PY - 2020 DA - 2020/09/23 TI - What do you mean by “palliative sedation”? JO - BMC Palliative Care SP - 147 VL - 19 IS - 1 AB - Sedation in palliative care is frequently but controversially discussed. Heterogeneous definitions and conceptual confusion have been cited as contributing to different problems 1) relevant to empirical research, for example, inconsistent data about practice, the ‘data problem’, and 2) relevant for an ethically legitimate characterisation of the practice, the ‘problem of ethical pre-emption’. However, little is known about how exactly definitions differ, how they cause confusion and how this can be overcome.
