Born from Silence: When Pregnancy Overrides Consent

What seems to be a normality nowadays, can quickly turn into a crisis for some patients. Pregnancies are prone to develop abnormalities and when these circumstances occur, it’s important to acknowledge what to do.

What seems to be a normality nowadays, can quickly turn into a crisis for some patients. Pregnancies are prone to develop abnormalities and when these circumstances occur, it’s important to acknowledge what to do.

Choosing between the life of a mother and her child is one of the most difficult situations a medical team can face. In these circumstances, the decision no longer belongs to the patient and doctors have to act quickly.

When medicine, ethics and law pull in different directions, it becomes hard to define what “doing the right thing” means. Saving a life comes at a high cost, especially when there is no consent or easy solution.

If you want to have a better understanding on how such decisions are made in real-life cases, then don’t hesitate to join Assoc. Prof. Mihai Popescu, MD, PhD, DESAIC specialised in anesthesiology and intensive care, Assoc. Prof. Romina-Marina Sima, MD, PhD, specialised in obstetrics and gynecology and Snr. Lect. Filip Perde, MD, PhD, specialised in forensic medicine. You will have the opportunity to participate in a heated debate, sharing and observing different points of views.

Hope or Harm: Navigating the Limits of Premature Life

Extremely premature pregnancies (22-25 weeks of gestation) have a high level of complexity and can lead to severe consequences for both mother and fetus. Whether to intervene in such cases remains a controversial question.

Extremely premature pregnancies (22-25 weeks of gestation) have a high level of complexity and can lead to severe consequences for both mother and fetus. Whether to intervene in such cases remains a controversial question.

Assoc. Prof. Cătălin Cîrstoveanu, MD, PhD, expert in neonatology, Irina Mărgărint, MD, specialised in pediatric cardiovascular surgery and Asst. Lect. Oana Tarța-Arsene, MD, PhD, pediatric neurology specialist, will address some of the most delicate and provoking aspects of neonatal care.

The discussion will focus on how medical teams make the difficult decision between continuing or stopping treatment in extremely premature births, taking into account not only survival, but also long-term disabilities. Emotional, ethical and scientific challenges, involved in saving lives, will also be explored, as well as what the prognosis reveals about the quality of life.

If you want to enrich your knowledge about premature cases and explore real-life situations, discussed by experienced doctors, then you shouldn’t miss out on this roundtable!
