The concept of palliative care, well recognized in the adult population, has not been fully implemented in the pediatric population. Yet there is an urgent need to define and provide excellence in end-of-life care for infants and their families. Beneficent end-of-life care for the dying neonate includes efforts directed at comfort care, assistance with end-of-life decision making, and bereavement support. Through research and education, the challenges to implementing neonatal palliative care programs can be overcome. This article describes the components of neonatal palliative care, identifies the challenges associated wiith the implementation of such programs, and proposes strategies for addressing these challenges.
姑息治疗的概念在成人中已得到广泛认可，但在儿科人群中尚未得到充分实施。然而，迫切需要为婴儿及其家庭定义并提供优质的临终关怀。为濒死新生儿提供有益的临终关怀包括致力于舒适护理、协助临终决策以及哀伤支持。通过研究和教育，可以克服实施新生儿姑息治疗项目所面临的挑战。本文描述了新生儿姑息治疗的组成部分，确定了实施此类项目相关的挑战，并提出应对这些挑战的策略。
