We describe the cases of two patients discharged home directly from the ICU. Both patients had the strong wish to die at home after being told that there were no therapeutic options. Sometimes discharge is feasible and can mean very much for patients and their family. Taking measures to ensure a "good deathbed" is an obligation for doctors and nursing staff. However, due to the focus on cure this palliative goal is not always pursued.
我们描述了两名直接从重症监护病房出院回家的患者的病例。在被告知没有治疗选择后，这两名患者都强烈希望在家中离世。有时出院是可行的，对患者及其家人意义重大。采取措施确保“善终”是医生和护理人员的责任。然而，由于专注于治愈，这一姑息治疗目标并非总是能得以实现。
