“…Заболевание неизлечимо и значительно нарушает качество жизни пациента, что заведомо предполагает раннее начало паллиативной помощи: поддержка техническими средствами (небулайзеры, кислородные концентраторы, откашливатели и др.) и обучение проведению кислородотерапии на дому, купирование одышки, психологическая поддержка [16,17,18].…”

Currently, euthanasia is officially allowed only in a number of countries, in most countries, as well as in the Russian Federation, it is prohibited by law. However, in clinical practice, there are a large number of incurable patients who experience intractable pain, so the problem of euthanasia is relevant. Aim: to analyze the current state of the problem of euthanasia and palliative care in pulmonology. Material and methods: review of domestic and foreign literature on the problem of euthanasia over the past 10 years has been carried out. Literature search was carried out using the e-library and PubMed databases. Results: We present a medical and philosophical perspective. Currently, euthanasia (Greek "good death") is a way to quickly and painlessly die if there is a serious illness that is incurable, suffering and pain. The best and perhaps the only alternative to euthanasia is palliative care. In pulmonology, palliative care focuses on early detection of respiratory failure, dyspnea, fear and pain relief. The effective organization of palliative care in respiratory medicine depends on the well-coordinated work of pulmonologists, physiotherapists, nurses, and psychologists. Conclusion: The problem of euthanasia to date still remains controversial from both medical and ethical points of view. The adoption of euthanasia by law may be a deterrent to governments from funding research into new treatments. The risk of abuse of euthanasia in order to obtain organs for transplantation or to get rid of seriously ill burdensome relatives cannot be ruled out. It is necessary to consider the issue of introducing additional educational cycles on the issues of modern achievements in palliative medicine, technical means of rehabilitation and the peculiarities of their use in patients with various diseases in the terminal stage in the training of doctors and nurses.

“…Patients frequently present with recurrent pulmonary exacerbations, malnutrition, and early persistent bacterial colonization associated with repeated hospitalizations. Many of the patients in our environment are candidates for lung transplantation much earlier than in countries that have specialized treatment centers [80]. In Mexico, lung transplantation is not an option available in any accessible way.…”

Children with End Stage Lung Disease (ESLD) are part of the growing population of individuals with life-limiting conditions of childhood. These patients present with a diverse set of pulmonary, cardiovascular, neuromuscular, and developmental conditions. This paper first examines five cases of children with cystic fibrosis, bronchopulmonary dysplasia, neuromuscular disease, pulmonary hypertension, and lung transplantation from Texas Children’s Hospital. We discuss the expected clinical course of each condition, then review the integration of primary and specialized palliative care into the management of each diagnosis. This paper then reviews the management of two children with end staged lung disease at Hospital Civil de Guadalajara, providing an additional perspective for approaching palliative care in low-income countries.
