Jared Lowe<\/a>, MD, and Laura Hanson<\/a>, MD, have co-authored an editorial about a new research study in JAMA titled Preventing Death Rattle with Prophylactic Subcutaneous Scopolamine Butylbromide.<\/a><\/p>\n

Noisy breathing is among the signs that accompany impending death, and one that evokes controversy in end-of-life care. This is the sound of respirations caused by secretions and muscle relaxation in the upper airway. In the editorial, the authors discuss evidence for the use of prophylactic scopolamine butylbromide to reduce the death rattle.<\/p>\n
