Spiriva (tiotropium) is a long-acting anticholinergic medication primarily used for chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and Asthma. In hospice care, the decision to use Spiriva should be based on the individual patient's symptoms and goals of care. If a patient has significant respiratory distress and potential benefit from improved airflow, it may be considered. However, the focus in hospice is typically on comfort and quality of life, so the use of Spiriva should align with the patient's wishes and overall care plan.
