| 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 |

| 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. | ||||

| Title | Condensate clearance from CPAP circuit: An examination of two methods of draining condensate from the inspiratory tubing | Type | Journal Article | ||
| Year | 2003 | Publication | Journal of Neonatal Nursing | Abbreviated Journal | |
| Volume | 9 | Issue | 4 | Pages | 117-120 |
| Keywords | Neonatal nursing; Infection control; Equipment and Supplies | ||||
| Abstract | Clinical studies on adult ventilated patients demonstrate that bacterial contamination of the condensate occurs in ventilator circuits. The purpose of this research is to find out if this is also true of the condensate in the Continuous Positive Airway Pressure (CPAP) circuit. It aims to determine whether there is bacterial contamination in the humidifier reservoir of the CPAP system when the condensate is drained back into the humidifier reservoir without disconnecting the circuit, or when the inspiratory tubing is disconnected to drain out the condensate. | ||||
