Parental Autonomy and Anticipated Harms: Ethical Considerations Concerning Parental Discretion in the Neonatal ICU

Jeffery Pannekoek, PhD

Parental autonomy is foundational to our approach to decision-making in the neonatal ICU. This talk will explore complications that can arise when we treat patients according to values and preferences that are not necessarily their own. The discussion will focus on different considerations regarding potential treatment limits and avoiding harm to the patient.
 
Objectives:
Following this presentation, attendees should be able to:
  1. Identify different approaches to parental decision-making.
  2. Define the parental zone of discretion and when it is relevant to decision-making.
  3. Recognize complications with parental decision-making in the neonatal ICU.
