Abstract

The initiation, continuance, or discontinuance of clinically-assisted hydration and nutrition are some of the most challenging decisions in patients near the end-of-life. This article reviews the limited evidence to support or otherwise these medical treatments, and provides an overview of relevant clinical practice guidance. Essentially, decisions need to be individualised, and importantly regularly reviewed to ensure that the objectives of treatment are being achieved.
