The care of extremely premature infants involves a number of complex clinical and ethical issues. The ethical and scientific quality of decisions made in the care of these infants has profound long-term consequences for these infants and their families. In circumstances when it is unclear whether intensive care should be initiated or continued, evidence-based ethics provides an approach to facilitate treatment decisions that over time will be progressively better informed, better justified, and more broadly acceptable to parents, caregivers, and the general public.
对极早产儿的护理涉及许多复杂的临床和伦理问题。在照顾这些婴儿时所做决策的伦理和科学质量,会对这些婴儿及其家庭产生深远的长期影响。在不清楚是否应开始或继续重症监护的情况下,循证伦理学提供了一种方法,以促进治疗决策,随着时间的推移,这些决策将逐渐有更充分的依据、更合理的理由,并且更容易被父母、护理人员和公众所接受。
