When are artificial fluids beneficial, and when can they do more harm than good?  We talk about this issue in detail to help inform this difficult decision. 

We try to answer these questions:

  • How does artificial food and fluid work?
  • Who is most likely to be helped by artificial food and fluids?
  • Who is least likely to be helped by artificial food and fluids?
  • What happens if I decide not to try artificial food and fluids at the end of life?
  • How do I decide whether to try artificial food and fluids?
