Feeling of Caregivers After a Palliative Management of Extreme Premature Babies in Delivery Room.

Sponsor: CHU de Reims

Summary

Introduction : The birth of a child is usually a happy event that caregivers working in delivery rooms share with families. Unfortunately, newborns sometimes need palliative care as soon as birth occurs. In France, neonates who were liveborn under 24+0 weeks amenorrhea (date of last mentrual period) or weighing less than 500 grams) usually have non resuscitation in delivery room \[Ancel 2020\]. Some of them are considered as viable (referring to World Health Organisation definition : either term ≥ 22 + 0 amenorrhea week or birth weight ≥ 500 grams), others as nonviable (term \< 22 AW and birth weight ≤500 grams). In France, legislative development over last two decades have allowed the emergence of palliative care in delivery room. In a French survey in 2016, 83% of maternities were confronted at least once a year with this situation.
