          Abstract

          Los cuidados paliativos en México son programas de asistencia que surgen a partir de la atención de los pacientes con cáncer en la fase terminal de su enfermedad; evitan el sufrimiento del enfermo, aceptan los límites entre el tratamiento curativo y el paliativo, controlan el dolor y atienden los aspectos psicosociales y espirituales. El estomatólogo pediatra debe estar capacitado para poder ofrecer atención de su especialidad como parte del equipo multidisciplinario de cuidados paliativos y eliminar cualquier factor que pueda desencadenar dolor, infección o hemorragia, así como otros síntomas bucales habituales en estos pacientes. Se informa el caso de un paciente pediátrico con leucemia aguda linfoblástica en fase terminal y la intervención de cada uno de los servicios tratantes, incluyendo estomatología, para otorgar al paciente confort y bienestar en los últimos días de vida.

          Palliative care in Mexico is based on assistance programs originated from the care of cancer patients in the terminal phase of their illness, directed to prevent suffering, accept the limits between curative and palliative treatment, pain control and attend the psychosocial and spiritual aspects. The pediatric dentistry is responsible for providing dental care as part of a multidisciplinary palliative care team and eliminate any factor that causes pain, infection or bleeding, and other common oral symptoms in these patients. We present the case of a pediatric patient with lymphoblastic leukemia in terminal phase and the intervention of each member of the multidisciplinary team including stomatology to provide comfort and improving the quality of life in the last days of life.

            The assessment and implementation of mouth care in palliative care: a review.

            From a review of the literature it is evident that the importance and maintenance of oral health for patients with cancer is recognised as an integral part of basic nursing care and yet from practical observation in the hospital environment together with reviewing the published literature it is clear that there appears to be limited evidence of regular assessment of the mouth or implementation of oral protocols on the ward. Furthermore there is a lack of adequate training in the assessment and implementation of mouth care by nurses during their general nurse training. The aim of the present study was to review existing literature published between 1995 and 1999 to determine whether mouth care was effectively assessed and implemented in the palliative care setting.
