| Title | Ethical dilemmas in neonatal care | Type  |
Journal Article | ||
| Year | 2000 | Publication | Kai Tiaki: Nursing New Zealand | Abbreviated Journal | |
| Volume | 6 | Issue | 7 | Pages | 17-19 |
| Keywords | Intensive care nursing; Paediatric nursing; Ethics; Clinical decision making | ||||
| Abstract | The author explores possible approaches to the ethical dilemma confronting nurses of critically ill premature infants with an uncertain or futile outcome despite aggressive neonatal intensive care. A case history illustrates the issues. The morality of nursing decisions based on deontological and utilitarian principles is examined, as are the concepts of beneficence and non-maleficence. A fusion of virtue ethics and the ethic of care is suggested as appropriate for ethical decision-making in the neonatal intensive care environment. | ||||

Book Whole | ||
| Year | 2018 | Publication | Abbreviated Journal | ||
| Volume | Issue | Pages | 224 p. | ||
| Keywords | Intensive Care Units; Intensive care nursing; Patients; Mortality; Health economics | ||||
| Abstract | Explains the need for nurse-led Patient-at-Risk-Teams(PART) to prevent unnecessary ICU admissions. Investigates which nurse allocation policy between PART and ICU would result in the best outcomes for patients and hospitals. Provides econometric models to estimate the impact of critical care nurses on hospital length of stay. Proposes queueing and simulation models to obtain the optimal nurse allocation policy for minimising the ICU mortality rate. Validates proposed models at Middlemore Hospital from 2015 to 2016. Estimates the financial and mortality impact of allocating another nurse to PART per shift. | ||||
