Abstract

Abstract The aim of this commentary is to provide clinicians with the tools needed (or, at least, knowledge of where to find them) to navigate the often-turbulent seas of medical ethics. The cases described and questions asked in this issue are not only relevant to pediatric epilepsy but also typical of quandaries faced frequently by health care professionals (HCPs). By examining these cases and extrapolating the ethical questions raised, the clinician will find that there are several ethical approaches that can be taken and may lead to a variety of ways forward. However, by employing the ideas highlighted in this commentary, it is my hope that HCPs will be able to identify these various points of view, evaluate their options, and act in ways that are ethically justifiable.

儿科癫痫常见问题的实用伦理方法

本评论的目的是为临床医生提供所需的工具(或者，至少，在哪里可以找到它们的知识)，以导航经常动荡的医学伦理海洋。本问题中所描述的病例和提出的问题不仅与儿童癫痫有关，而且也是卫生保健专业人员(HCPs)经常面临的典型困境。通过检查这些病例并推断所提出的伦理问题，临床医生会发现有几种可以采用的伦理方法，并可能导致各种各样的前进道路。然而，通过采用这篇评论中强调的观点，我希望医护人员能够识别这些不同的观点，评估他们的选择，并以道德上合理的方式行事。

期刊介绍： The Journal of Pediatric Epilepsy is an English multidisciplinary peer-reviewed international journal publishing articles on all topics related to epilepsy and seizure disorders, epilepsy surgery, neurology, neurosurgery, and neuropsychology in childhood. These topics include the basic sciences related to the condition itself, the differential diagnosis, natural history, and epidemiology of seizures, and the investigation and practical management of epilepsy (including drug treatment, neurosurgery and non-medical and behavioral treatments). Use of model organisms and in vitro techniques relevant to epilepsy are also acceptable. Journal of Pediatric Epilepsy provides an in-depth update on new subjects and current comprehensive coverage of the latest techniques used in the diagnosis and treatment of childhood epilepsy.
