This article describes the transition for a 26-year-old patient with recurrent astrocytoma combined with seizure from acute care to palliative care due to the incurability of the condition. The period of care was from January 25, 2013 to February 15, 2013. Systematic assessment included physical, psychological, social and spiritual aspects. By direct nursing observation and family interviews, health problems that were identified included potential risk of injury, existing skin integrity damage, anticipated grief and other health problems. The focus of care during the intracranial hypertension phase was to do cluster care, maintain a straight position of the head and neck, closely monitor the patient's intake and output, and maintain electrolyte balance. When the patient's condition deteriorates leading to organ failure, the focus is to provide palliative care and discuss with their families the possibility of withdrawal of life-sustaining treatments. The medical team accompanied the patient and family through the removal process through listening, caring and empathy. The experience presented in this article could provide a reference for future care in the intensive care unit regarding patients with removal of life support.
