Results: Research and advances in palliative care in the Intensive Care Unit (ICU) have proven to be extremely essential and impactful for improving the treatment of patients affected by COVID-19. In recent years, a series of studies have been carried out with the aim of identifying the best palliative care protocols, taking into account the severity of the disease and the specific needs presented by critically ill patients in the ICU Conclusion: Healthcare professionals play a crucial role in palliative care, especially during the COVID-19 pandemic. Nurses must develop strategies to improve care and ensure staff safety.
