Description
Kukora and colleagues report on their single centre study of antenatal palliative care consultation (APCC) and reveal that this practice—though applied in a limited number of cases—contributed to a greater use of postnatal palliative/comfort care regimens. Additionally, while not altering the ultimate outcome for referred fetuses/ neonates, those who received APCC often died after a shorter in-hospital course. What are we to think of such a practice? How can APCC improve patient, family and staff experiences when a grievous outcome is anticipated?
