Child And Adolescent Palliative Care

 In modern society, we expect children to outlive their parents. However, 53 000 children within us die per annum from trauma, lethal congenital conditions, extreme prematurity, heritable disorders, or acquired illness. The causes of death in children are substantially different from the causes of death in adults; thus, palliative care guidelines that are appropriate for adults are often inappropriate for youngsters. For children living with life-threatening or terminal conditions, medical professionals are obligated to ensure that medical technology is used only when the benefits for the child outweigh the burdens. Child palliative care includes the control of pain and other symptoms and addresses the psychological, social, or spiritual problems of youngsters living with life-threatening or terminal conditions. Adolescents and young adult (AYA) face some distinctive challenges in living with life limiting sickness. Due to advances in medical treatment several EYEs have mature up through childhood with their sickness, and despite needing current treatment don't seem to be to any extent further youngsters. Others have been diagnosed with a life limiting illness as adolescents or young adults just as they are undergoing significant changes to physical, emotions and social autonomy. These unique physical, psychosocial and spiritual needs require nurses to possess proactive and appropriate knowledge and skills. Adolescents are transitioning into adulthood and independence, and this on-going development has an impression on caring. Many of these adolescents are now reaching adulthood and require support in transitioning to adult services.
