[End of life at home, guiding relatives on what to do in case of dyspnea]. / Fin de vie à domicile, guider les proches sur les conduites à tenir en cas de dyspnée.

Respiratory difficulties presented by a loved one at the end of life at home can leave those around him or her unable to cope and lead to emergency hospitalizations that are not clinically justified in this context. This is why the educational role of nurses is so important. They contribute, through anticipated explanations and indications, to allow adapted attitudes likely to reduce anguish, even panic, and to make it possible to continue to live at home.
