Recent advances in medical care have improved the survival of newborn babies born with various problems. Despite this death in the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) is an inevitable reality. For babies who are not going to "get better," the health care team still has a duty to alleviate the physical suffering of the baby and to support the family. Palliative care is a multidisciplinary approach to relieve the physical, psycho social, and spiritual suffering of patients and their families. Palliative care provision in the Indian NICU settings is almost nonexistent at present. In this paper we attempt to "build a case" for palliative care in the Indian NICU setting.
医疗护理方面的最新进展提高了患有各种问题的新生儿的存活率。尽管如此,新生儿重症监护病房(NICU)中的死亡仍是不可避免的现实。对于那些病情不会“好转”的婴儿,医疗团队仍有责任减轻婴儿的身体痛苦并支持其家庭。姑息治疗是一种多学科方法,旨在减轻患者及其家人的身体、心理社会和精神痛苦。目前,印度新生儿重症监护病房几乎不存在姑息治疗服务。在本文中,我们试图为印度新生儿重症监护病房的姑息治疗“建立一个案例”。
