The common symptoms that occur in the dying patient.
	1. Pain
	2. Nausea and Vomiting
	3. Agitation
	4. Respiratory Tract Secretions
	5. Breathlessness
	6. Seizures

Most patients who are dying will experience one or more of these symptoms and will require medication that is administered subcutaneously either PRN or via a syringe driver. The IV or IM routes are not routinely recommended in the dying patient.
Conditions other than those stated above may also be experienced but are considered to be less common and therefore specialist advice is required e.g. Superior Vena Cava Obstruction (SVCO).
Always seek specialist advice for patients with renal impairment or renal failure.
