In the recent years, there has been a significant progress in medicine with new technologies being applied in all branches of medicine

including intensive medicine, which not only allows to favourably affect previously unmanageable conditions, but also poses new medical,

ethical and economic problems. A widely accepted goal of intensive care is to preserve the life and health of the patient. When these

goals cannot be achieved, the principle of transition from intensive to palliative care/treatment is followed, aimed at eliminating pain,

discomfort and suffering while preserving human dignity and meeting the physical, mental, social and spiritual needs. Palliative care/treatment

is becoming an important and integral part of intensive medicine that is in accordance with medical, legal and ethical principles.
