Palliative Care on Patients With Paraquat Poisoning: Analysis of 90 Cases From 2005-2016

Patients with paraquat poisoning are suitable candidates to have palliative care, owing to the extremely high mortality rate and rapid disease progression. The expanded palliative care policy had a positive impact on terminal paraquat poisoning patients; it decreased non-beneficial life-sustaining treatments in the end-stage of disease. Nevertheless, there is still much room for improvement in our management of paraquat poisoning by reducing non-beneficial life-sustaining treatments and reinforcing palliative treatments.
