This paper presents two case studies to highlight the significance of palliative care team intervention for patients in the terminal stage of chronic non-cancerous respiratory diseases. Palliative care is essential to support physical problems, such as dyspnea, as well as mental disorders, such as depression, and to provide nutrition therapy and rehabilitation.
