Abstract

Many health care professionals lack knowledge about artificial nutrition and hydration at the end of life or may hold different attitudes about artificial nutrition and hydration compared with other treatments. Consequently, they may convey inaccurate or misleading information to patients or their surrogate decision makers. An updated understanding about artificial nutrition and hydration in light of prevailing medical evidence is presented.

摘要

许多医疗保健专业人员缺乏关于临终时人工营养与水化的知识，或者与其他治疗相比，他们可能对人工营养与水化持有不同的态度。因此，他们可能会向患者或其替代决策者传达不准确或误导性的信息。本文根据当前医学证据，对人工营养与水化提出了新的认识。
