Abstract

End of life is a common situation in emergency medicine. However, the training of nursing staff seems to be lacking in this area. We studied the impact of dedicated training on the management of end-of-life patients admitted to the adult emergency department of the Ambroise-Paré University Hospital.

Keywords: collegiality; collégialité; emergency; end of life; fin de vie; palliative care; soins palliatifs; urgence.
