Abstract
Complete and accurate knowledge is critical to parent decision making for families with complex and/or life-threatening fetal conditions. Comprehensive fetal centers are available to provide multidisciplinary specialized assessment, evaluation, diagnosis, and nondirectional counseling. Interventional option may include fetoscopic procedures, open fetal surgery, and ex utero intrapartum treatment. The nurse coordinator serves as the family and health care provider liaison for arrangement of services and communication of the plan of care.
