Ethical Problems in Neonatal Intensive Care
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 10 March 2009
Extract
Treatment decisions in the delivery room and neonatal intensive care unit are often life-and-death decisions. In a true Hippocratic spirit of “do no harm,” the guiding principle should be the long-term outlook for the infant and the family. This is usually, but not always, determined by the prospects of normal or near normal mental development versus incapacitating injury.
