title: [Caring for patients at the very end of life].
abstract: During the death process, certain signs can be identified to help caregivers understand how the patient may be suffering and to provide adequate relief. As the end of life approaches, patients may be conscious and aware and comfort care is therefore continued and adapted. At the very end of life, the focus moves to supporting the patient's family.
