摘要
Death rattle is a common symptom in the dying phase and has impact on relatives and health care providers. One controversial topic regarding the management of death rattle in the dying phase is whether the symptom should be treated. In this "Controversies in Palliative Care" article, three expert clinicians independently answer this question. Specifically, each group provides a synopsis of the key studies that inform their thought processes, share practical advice on their clinical approach, and highlight the opportunities for future research. The three experts have different opinions on the assessment of death rattle. This seems to depend on the unknown burden of death rattle on the patient. Explanation of the symptom and reassurance could be sufficient. But considering the known burden on some of the relatives, there might be good reasons to use medication to relieve this symptom. Whether this treatment should be performed preventively or only when death rattle develops remains an matter of debate. Further scientific, clinical, and societal debate on the concept of a "good death" for relatives, the meaning of the symptom death rattle, and the impact of medication is needed.
