- Abstract
The article discusses administering of anticholinergic agents as end-of-life care treatment, (during patient's death rattle). Though administering it would look beneficial for the carers, relatives and to the patients themselves, it was found that the side effects of anticholinergics at the end of life was recognized as problematic and had little influence on prescribing and administration.
