Sights and Sounds of Respiratory Changes During Hospice Death Vigils: Hospice Caregivers Experience
Opportunities exist for hospice agencies to better address the caregiver distress caused by witnessing noisy breathing (death rattle), Cheyne-Stokes breathing, and agonal breathing. Further research is needed to identify standard definitions for these respiratory changes, their prevalence in the home hospice setting, and to develop practice standards and effective interventions to relieve caregiver distress.
