abstract

intraventricular hemorrhage (ivh) is an important cause of brain injury in premature neonates. current study tries to define associated risk factors of ivh in preterm neonates in aliasghar children hospital during 2008 to 2011. in this study, the risk factors have been evaluated in premature neonates with ivh, who had at least one brain sonography since their admission in nicu. a total of 63 premature neonates with ivh were assessed. mean gestational age was 29.81 (24-34) weeks and mean birth weight was 1290.83±382.96 gr. other risk factors such as sex, mode of delivery, history of using infertility drugs, maternal disease, maternal hypertension and preeclampsia, lumbar puncture, ventilator therapy and pneumothorax were considered. because no absolute treatment for ivh is available, identifying risk factors is important in prevention and management of ivh.

prevalence of factors involved in intracranial hemorrhage of premature neonates less than 34 weeks

intracranial hemorrhage is one of the major causes of neonatal mortality and morbidity. it is the most severe cranial problem in that period. those who survive would be affected by hydrocephalus, encephalomalacia, and finally brain atrophy. with accurate knowledge of risk factors, hemorrhage may be diagnosed earlier and the complications managed earlier. this study was performed in neonatal int...

Ultrasonic diagnosis of intracranial hemorrhage in high risk neonates.

One hundred and eleven high risk neonates were subjected to (cranial ultrasound (CR-USG) Caranial sonography was performed by 2D realtime scanner with 5 MHz transducer through anterior and posterior fontanelle and temporo-squamal suture. One quarter of these neonates developed intracranial hemorrhage (ICH) within 120 hours of birth. Of them 42.8% neonates recovered completely, 21.4% developed v...

Risk factors associated with intracranial hemorrhage in neonates with persistent pulmonary hypertension on ECMO

BACKGROUND Up to 40% of infants with persistent pulmonary hypertension (PPHN) remains refractory to conventional therapies, and extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) is offered as an effective support for this group. However, ECMO is a highly invasive and risky procedure with devastating complications such as intracranial hemorrhage (ICH). In this study, we aimed to determine the risk fact...
