Clients with feeding (PEG) tubes or who are using rectal catheters to take the aid-in-dying medications will need*

a family member to push the syringe so the medications enter the client's body
a doctor in attendance to help with the procedure
to practice the method of self-administration without assistance that will be used with their feeding tube or rectal catheter
a special prescription for aid-in-dying medications specifically for PEG tubes or rectal self-administration

A client who vomits after taking the aid-in-dying medications*

will likely not become unconscious and will need urgent care
will likely become unconscious initially, but later awaken and need further medical care
will likely become unconscious and die, but this may take longer than usual
can take the backup second dose that usually comes with the prescription

The best way to prevent aid-in-dying complications is to*

Be prepared to call 911 if the patient vomits or has a seizure
Monitor the patient using the red flag checklist and alert the prescribing doctor if any problems are noted
Request that a hospice nurse or doctor assess the patient before ingestion
Assume the nurses and doctors have this under control and will not allow the procedure to proceed unsafely
