From the borders of Viability: a 21-year Western Australian Experience of Outcomes in Infants born between 22-22+6 weeks Gestation - Abstract
Resuscitation at the borders of viability, particularly at <23 weeks gestation, remains a common ethical dilemma for clinicians. Some of these challenges include: whether to provide lifesaving treatment at limits of viability after considering what is in the best interest of child and family, risks of severe impairments, quality of life, costs, amalgamation into being an independent and productive community member and finally who should decide about resuscitation.
