PY - 2011 T2 - Care at the Close of Life: Evidence and Experience AB - Mrs D is a 74-year-old woman followed up for the past 4 years for management of dyspnea secondary to emphysema. Her pulmonologist, Dr M, relates that she has had a substantial active (25 pack-years) and passive (husband smoked 2 packs per day) tobacco exposure. She is thin, with pursed-lip breathing and sternocleidomastoid contractions. The results of pulmonary function tests demonstrate severe airflow obstruction, air trapping, and marked reduction in diffusing capacity.
