Siena Hospice is known for its dedication to providing compassionate end-of-life care to patients facing terminal illnesses. One of the critical decisions that often arise in hospice care is knowing when to stop giving oxygen to patients nearing the end of their lives. This decision requires careful consideration and consultation with medical professionals to ensure the comfort and well-being of the individual in their final moments. Oxygen therapy is a common palliative treatment that provides relief to patients with respiratory issues, allowing them to breathe more easily and comfortably. However, in the final stages of a terminal illness, the focus of care shifts from aggressive treatment to ensuring quality of life and comfort for the patient. In some cases, continuing oxygen therapy may no longer provide significant benefits and could even contribute to discomfort or distress.
