Abstract:Objective
Intraventricular hemorrhage (IVH) of prematurity occurs in 20–38% of infants born < 28 weeks gestational age and 15% of infants born in 28–32 weeks gestational age. Treatment has evolved from conservative management and CSF diversion of temporizing and shunting procedures to include strategies aimed at primarily clearing intraventricular blood products. Neuroendoscopic lavage (NEL) aims to decrease the intraventricular blood burden under the same anesthetic as temporizing CSF diversi… Show more
