This paper presents the general concepts regarding the terminal phase of a child's illness and the therapeutic approach undertaken at a third-level care institution. We discuss how this information is transmitted to parents and children along with the bioethical aspects and the medical, emotional and spiritual support required during this complex situation.
Keywords : terminal phase; information transmission; bioethical aspects; support.
