Area of Science:

Neonatal Medicine
Bioethics
Pediatric Care

Context:

Modern neonatal care involves multiple stakeholders, including increasingly informed parents.
Parents advocate for their role in therapeutic decisions for prematurely born infants.
Ethical principles, particularly the child's best interest, are central to these discussions.

Purpose:

To describe a structured approach for achieving consensus in the care of premature infants.
To address the complexities of decision-making when infant viability is borderline.
To facilitate shared decision-making between medical teams and parents.

Summary:

Ethical considerations for premature infants are complex due to multiple caregivers and informed parental involvement.
For borderline viable premature infants, consensus-building is prioritized over sole decision-making authority.
