Doors open at 2:30 p.m. The theme of the event is “Therapy at the end of life: self-determination through living wills”.
Ratschker will explain the spectrum of medical measures at the end of life. She covers the range from maximum therapy to palliative medicine, where the focus is on quality of life and symptom relief. The speaker explains which therapy options exist and what consequences different decisions can have. The aim is to provide information about available medical options so that people can make informed decisions regarding their living will.
Living wills are becoming an important instrument for medical decisions at the end of life
Modern medical developments have created new treatment options in recent decades. Life-extending measures, artificial ventilation or the use of machines to support vital organs are now possible. With these medical options comes greater responsibility to address fundamental questions.
Many people do not like to deal with the question of what should be done at the end of life and what they want. A living will is an instrument in which individual wishes for medical treatment can be recorded in writing. For such decisions, knowledge about the available treatment options is necessary. Dealing with the issue at an early stage can help to allay fears and relieve relatives of the burden in a later situation.
