For most terminally ill patients, the preferred place of death is home. Previous literature has demonstrated the feasibility of at-home terminal extubation performed by critical care and hospice physicians. This case report describes a terminal extubation performed by a paramedic under the direct supervision of an Emergency Medical Services physician in the patient's home. Guided by a comprehensive plan and logistical support from a team of hospice providers, a successful out-of-hospital terminal extubation is possible. To truly achieve patient-centered care at end of life, the choice for an out-of-hospital death is necessary.
