Euthanasia is the final act of clinical care we provide, and its success is defined by both the peace of the patient and the comfort of the family. This session covers the technical and emotional components of a high-quality euthanasia experience, including sedation protocols, patient preparation, and creating a supportive environment for clients during end-of-life care.

  • 1. Sensory environmental engineering
  • 2. The Two-step pharmacological method
  • 3. Spatial optimization
  • 4. Combating staff burnout
  • Key takeaway: Euthanasia is not a routine technical task, but a profound medical transition where dignity, comfort, and psychological safety are treated as clinical metrics
