La mise en Suvre pratique des soins palliatifs dans les differents lieux de soins : 3^e partie des reflexions et propositions autour des soins palliatifs en periode neonatale

Arch Pediatr 17(4):6 (2010) PMID 20206481

Palliative care in newborns may take place in the delivery room and then continued either in maternity wards or in the neonatal unit. For babies developing a chronic condition, going home may be advantageous. The population concerned includes babies born with a severe intractable congenital malformation and certain extremely preterm newborn babies at the limits of viability. Care procedures as well as withholding and withdrawing treatments are reviewed.
