Ethical dilemmas often arise in neonatal care, particularly in cases involving extreme prematurity or severe congenital anomalies. Common dilemmas include:
- Life-Sustaining Treatment: Deciding whether to initiate or continue life-sustaining treatments can be challenging. - Resource Allocation: In resource-limited settings, prioritizing care can pose ethical questions. - Parental Autonomy vs. Best Interest: Balancing parental wishes with what is clinically best for the newborn can be difficult.
