“…Studies about the treatment of dyspnea when patients have life-limiting illnesses are needed. [24][25][26] Gaps in our knowledge about treatment of the patients that are nearest to death exist because an inability to self-report dyspnea has excluded this population from studies. Yet, we found more distress in the patients who were nearest to death in our sample as reported by other investigators 27 supporting our call for more investigation of this vulnerable population.…”

Declining consciousness and/or cognition are expected when patients are near death. The RDOS performed well when tested with terminally ill patients who were at risk for respiratory distress, most of whom could not self-report dyspnea. The tool is sensitive to detect changes over time and measure response to treatment. The RDOS is simple to use; scoring takes less than 5 minutes. The RDOS has clinical and research utility to measure and trend respiratory distress and response to treatment.
