The use of opioids, both parenteral and oral, in the last 24 hours of life is presented. Of patients with advanced cancer in a hospice, 66% were able to take oral medication in the last day of life and the need for parenteral medication over long periods is small.

Key Words: coma • opioids • oral administration • palliative treatment • pain • parenteral administration
