Early Perinatal Palliative Care Engagement can Assist to Improve Treatment During Pregnancy

James Baker

A rising variety of complicated foetal disorders that can be identified during pregnancy provide challenges for perinatal medicine. Prognostic uncertainty is a result of the development of potentially life-extending therapies for the newborn both before and after birth. It might be difficult for doctors who provide counseling to families in these situations to decide which ones would benefit from an early referral to palliative care. We argue that regardless of the selected plan of treatment, all women carrying a foetus diagnosed with a life-threatening disease for which comfortfocused care at delivery is one morally permissible choice should be provided prenatal palliative care assistance. Early palliative care support can aid in making well-informed choices, improve psychological and grief support, and offer chances for care planning that takes into account how to respect and honour the life of the foetus or baby, however brief it may be.
