Abstract
Sudden changes in a patient’s condition that require urgent treatment are not uncommon during the last phase of a patient’s life. The diagnosis and management of spinal cord compression, shortness of breath, haemorrhage, metabolic disturbance, fractures and neurological conditions are discussed. Appropriate treatment can make a big difference to how the patient and family cope and anticipation of potential problems is advocated.
