The integration of palliative care principles in the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) remains challenging. This article describes different models of providing neonatal palliative care and explores management of pain and other symptoms, end-of-life care, prenatal palliative care, discharges to hospice, communication strategies, and care of the medically complex infant as key areas where palliative care can help decrease pain and improve quality of life for the NICU population with life-limiting conditions and their families.
