How can you tell if someone unresponsive is really dying?

Q: My grandmother has been in and out of the hospital over several years. The past year she has been in a convalescent home before that we were told she is to the point she will be back in forth in the hospital. She has had a horrible bedsore on her hip for over a year and it has gotten worse, she has had kidney and urinary track infections as well as a blood and staph infection. They say she has got the death rattle and are giving her comfort care which includes oxygen. She has a DNR and I feel perhaps we should discontinue the oxygen but some of the family who is not ready want to keep her on it. It does not seem she will come out of this. Has anyone had this experience?

A: Please contact your grandmother’s physician and request hospice care immediately. Oxygen is a comfort measure. It does not prolong life in these situations. Taking her off oxygen will make little difference in how much longer she has to live, but it will make her much more comfortable as her body continues its natural cascade of events in the dying process.
