Palliative care for the newborn is a developing area. There are more than 2000 estimated neonatal deaths each year in the UK from causes likely to benefit from palliative care. There is an increasing recognition that while the goals of care may be different for dying newborns, they deserve the same high standard of care as those babies who go on to survive. Recent neonatal palliative care guidance is available from the British Association for Perinatal Medicine (BAPM), the General Medical Council (GMC), and ACT (the U.K. association for children's palliative care). We attempt to answer the question: 'What does the provision of good neonatal palliative care look like?' by examining the factors important in the provision of such care.
新生儿的姑息治疗是一个正在发展的领域。在英国，每年估计有 2000 多名新生儿因可能受益于姑息治疗的原因而死亡。越来越多的人认识到，尽管临终新生儿的治疗目标可能有所不同，但他们应该得到与那些幸存下来的婴儿同样高标准的护理。英国围产医学协会（BAPM）、普通医学委员会（GMC）和 ACT（英国儿童姑息治疗协会）提供了最近的新生儿姑息治疗指南。我们试图通过检查提供此类护理的重要因素来回答这个问题：“良好的新生儿姑息治疗是什么样子的？”
