From, the moment of birth and repeatedly thereafter, the baby's mother insisted that aggressive measures be pursued, including cardiopulmonary resuscitation and ventilator support, to keep the baby alive as long as possible. The physicians complied. However, following the baby's second admission for respiratory failure, the hospital sought declaratory relief from the court permitting it to forgo emergency life support on the grounds that \u201ca requirement to provide respiratory assistance would exceed the prevailing standard of medical care,\u201d and that \u201cbecause any treatment of their condition is futile, the prevailing standard of medical care for infants with anencephaly is to provide warmth, nutrition, and hydration.\u201d The United States Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit ruled in favor of the baby's mother, citing the federal Emergency Medical Treatment and Active Labor Act (popularly known as the \u201canti-dumping\u201d act), which contained no \u201cstandard of care\u201d exception to the requirement to provide \u201ctreatment necessary to prevent the material deterioration of the individual's condition.\u201d An appeal to the United States Supreme Court was rejected. The baby died some two and one-half years later of cardiac arrest during her sixth visit to the emergency department of Fairfax Hospital for respiratory failure.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1017\/s0963180100007556","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2016,2,18]],"date-time":"2016-02-18T08:10:39Z","timestamp":1455783039000},"page":"9-18","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":7,"title":["The Baby K Case: A Search for the Elusive Standard of Medical Care"],"prefix":"10.1017","volume":"6","author":[{"given":"Lawrence J.","family":"Schneiderman","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Sharyn","family":"Manning","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"56","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2009,8,3]]},"reference":[{"key":"S0963180100007556_ref001","unstructured":"Emergency Medical Treatment and Active Labor Act (EMTALA), 42 U.S.C.
