Palliative care as a clinical field emerged in the 1990s, aiming at improving end-of-life (EOL) experience for seriously ill patients (1). It changed the way to approach families saying them that their loved ones were approaching the end limiting life support while maintain comfort (2). It is now also evident that palliative care has not only to be seen as the job of consultants or by specialists in this field but also an approach to care at the “primary” level by intensivist, intensive care unit (ICU) nurses, and other clinicians (2).
