What can we learn from these experiences to improve the way we can take care of and support children?
Objectives: The main objective of this clinical ethics study was to focus on the experience stories of parents during their child's hospitalization in a PICU, to analyze their discourse, and to propose an ethical perspective.
Method: The current research collects the experience reports of parents during their child's hospitalization in a PICU and those of the caregivers who treated them.
Background: Placenta accreta spectrum is a life-threatening condition that has increased dramatically in recent decades along with cesarean rates worldwide. Cesarean hysterectomy is widely practiced in women with placenta accreta spectrum; however, the maternal outcomes after cesarean hysterectomy have not been thoroughly compared with the maternal outcomes after alternative approaches, such as conservative management.
Objective: This study aimed to compare the severe maternal outcomes between women with placenta accreta spectrum treated with cesarean hysterectomy and those treated with conservative management (leaving the placenta in situ).
