Abstract
Patients at the end-of-life may present with refractory symptoms which cannot be adequately relieved despite the use of all traditional means. When refractory symptoms lead to intolerable suffering, palliative sedation is a last recourse temporary or definitive treatment. While discussing ethical issues, clinical practice dimensions of palliative sedation are explored in this article.
