摘要
As technology and medical care have improved, increasing numbers of critically ill neonatal patients are surviving the immediate neonatal period. The hectic environment of the neonatal intensive care unit often makes it difficult for personnel to attend adequately to the needs of the dying infant and his family. Accordingly, the option of home death for such infants has been offered in our neonatal intensive care unit. Experience is described for six infants who were managed in this manner. © 1990, by Thieme Medical Publishers, Inc. All rights reserved.
