Administration of comfort medication at end of life in neonates: effects of weight.
To examine whether a relationship exists between a neonate's weight and the neonate's receipt of comfort medication between four hours prior to elective ventilator withdrawal and death. It was hypothesized that the greater the neonate's weight, the more likely the neonate was to receive comfort medication at end of life. ⋯ In this sample, smaller neonates were given comfort medication less often while they were dying than were their larger counterparts.

Historical ArticleThe changing role of parents in neonatal care: a historical review.
Over the past century, improvements in technology and neonatal care techniques have dramatically reduced infant mortality rates. While this progress continues, a growing body of literature supports the significant role that parents play in the development of infants, particularly within the hospital setting. ⋯ This historical review describes how past neonatal care practices affected the roles of parents, from absence or indirect involvemcnt to the important involved roles of today. Understanding current trends in relation to these past experiences may encourage the formulation of family-centered care practices now and in the friture.
