This presentation will cover the role medications in end-of-life settings for neonatal patients. We will cover the development of pain sensations and pathways across gestational ages from 22 weeks gestation through 2 years of age, and medications used to target these pathways. The material covered will help to prepare you for managing end-of-life care in neonates and infants across gestational ages and will arm you with information on available routes for administration, options for escalation, and provide you with a framework for dosing medications often used for comfort care.

Learning Outcome(s):

At the conclusion of this presentation, the learner will be able to:
  1. Compare the pain pathways and infant response to painful stimuli at different gestational timepoints
  2. Develop an end-of-life care plan utilizing different medications based on specific infant factors such as gestational age, end-organ function, and family goals of care
  3. Modify care plans based on available routes for medication administration and create plans for escalation if needed
