Critically Impaired Infants and End of Life Decision Making
Author: Neera BhatiaPublisher: Routledge
ISBN: 1317573552
Category : Law
Languages : en
Pages : 279
Book Description
Decisions to withdraw or withhold life-sustaining treatment are contentious, and offer difficult moral dilemmas to both medical practitioners and the judiciary. This issue is exacerbated when the patient is unable to exercise autonomy and is entirely dependent on the will of others. This book focuses on the legal and ethical complexities surrounding end of life decisions for critically impaired and extremely premature infants. Neera Bhatia explores decisions to withdraw or withhold life-sustaining treatment from critically impaired infants and addresses the controversial question, which lives are too expensive to treat? Bringing to bear such key issues as clinical guidance, public awareness, and resource allocation, the book provides a rational approach to end of life decision making, where decisions to withdraw or withhold treatment may trump other competing interests. The book will be of great interest and use to scholars and students of bioethics, medical law, and medical practitioners.
Factors that Influence Decision Making in Neonatal End-of-life

Book Description
This review aims to identify factors that affect parental involvement in end-of-life care decision making for their infants in neonatal intensive care units (NICU). This was ascertained through a systematic review of the literature. Six relevant papers were identified through databases and a hand searching technique. Subsequent to this, a thematic analysis of the relevant papers established three main themes; input from medical staff, the parents and the infant and subsequent sub themes; communication, medical opinion, best interest, quality of life, autonomy, international differences, decision making and rights and responsibilities. -- A meta-synthesis further revealed an interaction among the themes, interpersonal (conflict between the medical staff and parents) and intrapersonal conflict (conflict in the parents perceived role). The findings of this review have indicated recommendations for improvement and a framework has been developed to demonstrate improved communication between parents and medical staff and allowing time for the parents to comprehend decisions. Limitations in the review identified transferability of findings among different countries, due to their different approaches to decision making. Further research is needed to consider other factors that may affect parents' involvement and choice in decisions, such as, social and cultural norms, which may vary internationally. A further comparative study to determine whether mothers and fathers decisions vary or are comparable, would provide valuable information on how decisions making vary between parents.
