Obstetrics and Gynecology Palliative Care
Palliative care is most appropriate for patients in the fields of obstetrics and medicine who are female patients with cancer and women whose unborn child has a disease that may not have much time left to live. Incorporating palliative care for those patients provides benefits for both clinical practice and health care utilization, in addition to better symptom management, increased life expectancy, and high-quality care.
Depending on the severity of the condition, either the primary palliative care team or a specialist in palliative care (specialty palliative care) will provide palliative care. Healthcare professionals who provide care to patients with life-limiting illnesses, such as obstetricians and gynecologists, should be proficient in basic primary palliative care skills, as well as in managing common symptoms like pain and nausea and communicating bad news.
