眼科放弃治疗的伦理学研究

The Ethic Reflection on Giving up Treatment in Ophthalmology

放弃治疗有广义与狭义之分,广义的放弃治疗在各个专业和轻重不同的疾病中都存在。经济困难仍是眼科放弃治疗的主要问题。部分无光感眼疾患者不要过早放弃治疗,应尽力救治。误诊漏诊致病变由可治变为不可治的放弃治疗要尽量避免。治疗性放弃对临床医生是一个全新的概念,医生在特殊情况下对某些可治性疾病可采用放弃治疗的方法。

Giving up treatment in ophthalmology is common in our country. Financial difficulty is the main reason of abandoning treatment in ophthalmology. We should make every effort to deal with some patients with ocular diseases who had no light perception at all. Misdiagnosis and wrong therapy ought to be avoided as much as possible in our clinical practice. The giving up treatment of retinoblastoma is relatively common in our country at present time and its early diagnosis and early treatment is very important. Therapeutic giving up treatment is a new concept and eye doctors can make use of it in some special situations in that the disease can be treated effectively.
