ForwardConversations in Ethics: One of Our Toughest Neonatal Cases: Challenges with a Terminally Ill Infant
Critically ill infants are a highly demanding group of patients, often prematurely born, spending months in the neonatal intensive care unit surrounded by technical equipment, parents and health professionals. While many do exceptionally well and go home, there are a few that, due to terminal illness, may not survive. Caring for these terminally ill neonates can generate ethical challenges among healthcare professionals and parents. Please join us in discussing one of our toughest neonatal cases.
