Cancer hospice support - protecting the last journey of life without pain or vomiting

Let the end of life be as quiet and beautiful as autumn leaves, and bid farewell with dignity without pain and vomiting

In the hospice ward of Guangzhou R&F Hospital Cancer Center, an elderly Saudi man passed away peacefully in the sound of his family reading the Quran. This is the farewell ceremony we created for international advanced cancer patients: painless, vomiting-free, and regret-free. In the last journey of life, the ultimate mission of medicine is not only to extend time, but also to protect the quality and dignity of life. Guangzhou R&F Hospital Cancer Center adheres to the concept of "painless life, no regrets in farewell", and joins hands with Japan's Aizawa Hospital to create Asia's flagship hospice ward, providing physical, psychological, and spiritual holistic care for advanced cancer patients (especially in Southeast Asia and the Middle East), so that every farewell is full of warmth and calmness.

Pain-free and vomit-free ward: the ultimate integration of technology and humanity

Advanced cancer patients often lose their dignity due to pain, nausea, dyspnea and other pains. Our hospital has redefined the hospice care standard through triple technological innovation:

1. Pain-free management: accurate pain relief to every minute

   ● AI pain monitoring system:

   ● Multimodal analgesia: combined with drugs, nerve blocks, and music frequency therapy to achieve a pain control rate of ≥98%;

   ● Non-invasive drug delivery innovation: for patients with dysphagia, sublingual and nasal sprays are used, which take effect in 10 seconds to avoid injection pain.

2. Vomit-free ward: Let the last bite of food in life be full of peace

   ● Vomiting reflex blocking technology: inhibit the vomiting reflex caused by chemotherapy or tumor compression;

   ● Olfactory purification system: negative ion aromatherapy diffusers are installed in the ward to neutralize the odor of the ward and reduce the vomiting trigger rate by 70%;

   ● Cross-cultural dietary support: provide date mud smoothies (halal certification) for Muslim patients, and provide room temperature coconut milk rice soup for Southeast Asian patients to avoid hot and cold stimulation.

3. Family-style treatment space: Say goodbye to the cold mark of the hospital

   ● Home scene restoration: The ward is equipped with adjustable warm lighting, wooden furniture, family photo wall, and supports patients to bring their own bedding and religious items (such as Buddhist scriptures and prayer blankets);

   ● Silent nursing technology: Reduce the intrusion of mechanical noise on patients.

Transnational hospice care: Respect every culture and belief

Comparison with traditional wards

Warm witness of the end of life

Patient background

Patient: Abdul (Saudi Arabia, 72 years old, advanced liver cancer) Unfulfilled wish:

• Complete the last Ramadan prayer on the sickbed

• Farewell to 23 descendants scattered in 5 countries

Peace plan:

• Prayer carpet: Automatically adjust the angle of prostration

• Holographic projection family letter: Images of descendants appear in sequence with the recitation of the Quran

• Time of death arrangement: Choose to leave in the first ray of sunlight after the morning prayer

Hospice care for other patients

Case 1: Patient with advanced gastric cancer (Malaysia, 58 years old)

Muslim patient, persistent vomiting after chemotherapy, pain score 9 points. After being transferred to the hospice ward:

• Painless management: PCA analgesic pump + ear vagus nerve stimulation, pain dropped to 2 points within 24 hours;

• No vomiting support: Date honey smoothie + rosemary sniffing, vomiting frequency dropped from 10 times a day to 0 times;

• Faith care: The son remotely recited the Quran through the ward iPad, and the patient completed the last prayer before his death.

Case 2: Terminal stage of pancreatic cancer (Japan, 72 years old)

The patient refused intubation and hoped to die naturally. Our hospital provides:

• Comfortable respiratory support: high-flow humidified oxygen therapy, not traumatic endotracheal intubation;

• Hometown memories: AI generated Kyoto courtyard projection, playing "Sakura Ballad" in a loop, and the patient died holding the paper crane folded by his daughter.

Case 3: Bone metastasis of lung cancer (Saudi Arabia, 45 years old)

Dyspnea before death, fear of suffocation. Solution:

• Non-invasive respiratory intervention: Helium-oxygen mixture (reduces respiratory power consumption)

• Family support: Provide "Respiratory Synchronization Guidance" APP, family members gently stroke the patient's chest to synchronize breathing rhythm, and the patient finally passed away peacefully in his wife's arms.
