Results: A total of 3,487 patients
were admitted to the intensive care
unit, of whom 342 were included in the
palliative care program. It was observed
that after entering the palliative care
program, it took a median of 2 (1 - 4)
days for death to occur in the intensive
care unit and 4 (2 - 11) days for hospital
death to occur. Many of the limitations
to Advanced Life Support (42.7%) took
place on the first day of hospitalization.
Cardiopulmonary resuscitation (96.8%)
and ventilatory support (73.6%) were
the most adopted limitations.
