ABSTRACT
During the COVID-19 pandemic, many of the usual aspects of therapeutic withdrawals had to be adapted. Preparing and supporting patients, next of kin and staff to death was particularly challenging. Palliative care was integrated into the process of therapeutic withdrawals in intensive care units during this crisis. Continuing education related to end-of-life issues and defining collaboration with palliative care is essential for intensive care teams.
