Prophylactic ethamsylate for periventricular haemorrhage.
Drug prophylaxis with ethamsylate for periventricular haemorrhage in very low birthweight infants significantly reduced the incidence of periventricular haemorrhage in survivors. A reduction in abnormalities at follow up and in insertion of ventriculoperitoneal shunts was also noted.
متن کاملProphylactic ethamsylate for periventricular haemorrhage.
Drs Cooke and Morgan have shown in a double blind trial that ethamsylate seemed to reduce the incidence of periventricular haemorrhage.' Although this is of great interest, no confirmation of these results is available so far. Yet Delandale Laboratories are already advertising ethamsylate as the drug to prevent periventricular haemorrhage in the newborn infant. In the past similar effects, clai...
متن کاملParadoxical ventricular enlargement after successful shunting.
We present two cases of ventricular obstruction in which shunting of intracranial cysts resulted in the unexpected finding of ventricular enlargement. By imaging criteria this suggested shunt malfunction [corrected]; however, the clinical presentation dramatically improved. The probable mechanism for this diagnostic pitfall is discussed.
متن کاملReduction in periventricular haemorrhage in preterm infants.
Our previous cerebral ultrasound study of antecedents of periventricular haemorrhage in infants weighing 1250 g or less at birth suggested that neonatal events that caused increased or fluctuating cerebral blood flow lead to periventricular haemorrhage. As the risk period for this type of haemorrhage was the first four days of life strict guidelines were introduced to avoid the previously ident...
متن کاملTiming and evolution of periventricular haemorrhage
on serial scans. The median age was 16 hours when PVH was first detected and 48 hours when PVH reached its maximum extent. Ventricular size at birth correlated with gestation. Progressive ventricular growth was seen after birth in infants both with and without PVH. Charts of normal ranges of ventricular size and head circumference were drawn up from birth to 10 weeks of age. All infants with PV...
