- Minimal impact through management Few studies of symptom control in the last few days of life. All observer survey Secretion control particularly poor Maximal impact through expectations Focus on education and counseling Preparations of what may or may not happen Family and patients with few experiences with actively dying patients Sailor analogy Controlling the sea quote Some situations where all symptoms cannot be controlled; don’t promise the moon Don’t promise to control the pain, delirium etc. Promise to closely involved and always trying.

The soft palate is elevated to the posterior nasopharyngeal wall, through the action of the levator veli palatini. The palatopharyngeal folds on each side of the pharynx are brought close together through the superior constrictor muscles, so that only a small bolus can pass. Then the larynx and hyoid are elevated and pulled forward to the epiglottis to relax the cricopharyngeus muscle. This passively shuts off its entrance and the vocal cords are pulled close together, narrowing the passageway between them . This phase is passively controlled reflexively and involves cranial nerves V, X (vagus) , XI (accessory) , and XII (hypoglossal)
