Propofol for Terminal Sedation in Palliative Care: A Systematic Review
Journal of Palliative Medicine, 10/20/09
McWilliams K et al. – Four articles—all case series or case reports—reporting generally favorable reports of the use of propofol as sedation for intractable symptoms in the last days of life especially when one or more other drugs have failed. Since these four articles are essentially hypothesis–generating, the article also discusses the possibility of the design of a clinical trial to compare propofol with other drugs used in this situation.
