End-Stage Heart Failure Protocol and Guidelines

The Prince Charles and Royal Brisbane and Women's Hospital; and associated community services in Brisbane, have developed a management protocol and guidelines to support the needs of patients in End-Stage Heart Failure. The development of these tools was supported by the Australian Commonwealth's Department of Health and Aging, Local Palliative Care Grant, (2008-2009).

Health Care Providers are welcome to use the following protocol and guidelines provided free of charge:

• End-Stage Heart Failure Management Protocol;
• ICD review checklist;
• End-Stage Heart Failure Management Guidelines (Implantable Cardioverter Defibrillator Considerations; Intractable Angina, Dyspnoea, Renal Failure, and Fluid Retention Management in End-Stage Heart Failure)
• Home Intravenous Frusemide pathway.
