  2. Ep. 152 Deep Dive: Palliative Extubation

May 28, 2025

 

In this episode, we are joined by Dr. Amelia Breyre, the lead author of Multidisciplinary Lessons from Palliative Extubations at Home, to discuss the complexities and collaborative efforts involved in facilitating palliative extubations at home. Dr. Breyre shares insights from two remarkable cases, highlighting how multidisciplinary coordination between critical care, palliative care, EMS, and hospice teams made it possible for patients to return home for end-of-life care. This conversation offers important lessons for EMS clinicians and physicians committed to improving patient-centered care at the end of life.
