Palliative care relieves suffering of patients and their families who are facing life-threatening illness through early identification, assessment, and treatment of physical, psychosocial, and spiritual problems. Palliative care involves more than the provision of high-quality end-of-life care. The ICU environment is complex, in continuous flux, and requires collaboration among multiple disciplines. In addition to providing organ support and restoring physical health, ICU clinicians benefit from training and expertise in primary palliative care skills including symptom assessment and management, communication about prognosis and potential treatment options, incorporation of patients’ values and goals into shared decision-making, and transitions in goals of care.
