摘要

Aim: In complex congenital heart diseases (CHD), patients may remain affected by significant morbidity and mortality after surgery. We analysed the end-of-life (EoL) care in children with severe CHD who died in our institution and investigated perspectives of parents and healthcare professionals (HCPs).Methods: Medical records of all children (age < 18 years old) affected by a severe CHD who died in a tertiary cardiac care centre were reviewed. Subsequently, a cross-sectional questionnaire-based study of parents and HCPs of children involved in the study was designed.Results: In total, 30 children died (median age: 45 days; range: 15 days to 3.4 years). Of them, 97% (31/32) died in an intensive care unit setting and were intubated and sedated at EoL. A total of 77% (23/30) died without parents being present at bedside. Eighteen families and 10 HCPs were interviewed. For 61% of the parents (11/18) and 70% of the clinicians (7/10), the goal of therapy at the EoL was 'to lessen your child's suffering as much as posible'. Overall, 44% of parents (8/18) and 50% of HCPs recognised that their child had no chance of survival 'a few days before the child died'.Conclusions: We believe that these data suggest an unconscious reluctance to change goals of care in EoL, shifting from intensive care to comfort and quality of life.
