Resume
La loi du 22 avril 2005, dite loi Leonetti et les textes de recommandations récents ont transformé en France l’approche du processus décisionnel de fin de vie en réanimation (2, 7). L’institution d’une sédation ou son renforcement dans ce contexte ne trouve néanmoins son sens que dans une approche rigoureuse du processus d’amont de réflexion et de décision de limitation ou d’arrêdes traitements. Ce sont la compréhension et l’intégration des différentes composantes de la procédure de réflexion qui permettent et facilitent la compréhension et la diffusion des pratiques de sédation en fin de vie.
Dans ce cadre, la sédation s’impose aujourd’hui sans réserve comme une obligation morale, déontologique et légale afin d’assurer le confort de fin de vie indispensable en cas de retrait des supports artificiels d’organes vitaux.
