Facilitating consent for trials in dying patients
Research in palliative care settings needs novel approaches. As obtaining fully informed consent is usually impossible, research on drugs that could benefit dying patients is particularly difficult. Rees and Hardy (p 198) have developed a novel advance consent process to support a trial comparing two of the drugs commonly used for the control of "death rattle." If generally accepted, this may facilitate the research necessary to advance the care of dying patients.
