Abstract

This article discusses the practicalities of syringe drivers (subcutaneous continuous infusion pumps) for symptom control in patients requiring palliative or end-of-life care, which may form part of an advance care plan. It includes a discussion of palliative and end-of-life care, advance care planning, and when a syringe driver might be beneficial for the patient. It also provides step-by-step clinical guidance on setting up a syringe driver.
