Posted April 11, 20222 yr Should genomic testing go ahead without parental consent? When results could drastically impact a child’s quality of life, should parents be allowed to decline testing? Share your views in this 10-minute survey. We are seeking the views of English-speaking paediatric or neonatal intensivists (either practising or in training) on the use of rapid genomic sequencing for critically ill infants. Our short survey will ask about two different ethical scenarios surrounding gaining consent for genomic testing and how a genomic test might influence treatment decisions. This will be the first study to collect global intensivist perspectives on this topic.

April 14, 20222 yr I agree Rapid genomic testing will definitely throw light on the outcome of critically ill kids
