En el desarrollo en la actividad científica neonatal se generan problemas éticos ante los cuales los profesionales de la medicina no pueden mantenerse indiferentes pues repercuten en la toma de decisiones y en la calidad de vida de los recién nacidos. La calidad de los cuidados perinatales y los avances en la neonatología han permitido que sobrevivan niños muy inmaduros lo que ha contribuido a que se incremente la frecuencia y la gravedad de los casos de retinopatía de la prematuridad, causa importante de ceguera infantil prevenible. En este trabajo se abordan los aspectos éticos relacionados con su diagnóstico y tratamiento; responsabilidad ética, comunicación, información y consentimiento informado.
In the neonatal scientific work, a number of ethical problems come up to which the health professionals can not be indifferent since they have an impact on the decision-making and the quality of life of newborns. The quality of perinatal care and the advances in neonatology have brought about the survival of extremely premature babies, therefore the frequency and severity of retinopathy of prematurity, important cause of the preventable blindness in children, have increased. Some ethical aspects such as ethical responsibility, information, communication, and informed consent connected to diagnosis and treatment of retinopathy of prematurity were addressed in this paper.
