Lung cancer is a serious medical diagnosis that requires extensive care and attention. For your loved ones with lung cancer, Angel Palliative Care and Hospice offers compassionate hospice services to address their needs effectively. As such, we have developed this process to provide optimal comfort to our patients:
Before withdrawal from ventilator support:
- Educates the family about pulmonary and hospice care
- Coordinates with the patient’s physician to determine the needs and wishes
During withdrawal:
- Provides physicians, respiratory therapists, nurses, and hospice chaplains
- Assists with medication management and oversees equipment use
After withdrawal:
- Provides continuous care to ensure patient comfort
- Conducts early bereavement support for family members
