[Implementing palliative care for newborns in various care settings. Part 3 of "Palliative care in the neonatal period"].

Palliative care in newborns may take place in the delivery room and then continued either in maternity wards or in the neonatal unit. For babies developing a chronic condition, going home may be advantageous. The population concerned includes babies born with a severe intractable congenital malformation and certain extremely preterm newborn babies at the limits of viability. Care procedures as well as withholding and withdrawing treatments are reviewed.
