ABSTRACT
Cardiopulmonary resuscitation of newborns with perinatal hypoxia faces
serious ethical, moral, medical and legal problems, particularly in rural
areas. Ethical and moral issues have to do with the medical-parents relationship;
with values, preferences and priorities of each of these groups;
and with the scarce resources situation. Medical-technical problems are
related to asphyxia complications, and their prognostic and therapeutic
implications. Legal considerations arising from the fact of killing or letting
die. In this article is analyzed the real case of a neonate with severe perinatal
hypoxia in order to enhance the understanding of the incorporation
of ethics in everyday clinical practice.
