<h3>Objective</h3> To compare neurodevelopmental outcomes of preterm infants with and without intervention for posthemorrhagic ventricular dilatation (PHVD) managed an "early approach" (EA), based on measurements exceeding normal (ventricular index [VI] <+2 SD/anterior horn width <6 mm) initial temporizing procedures, followed, if needed, by permanent shunt placement, a "late (LA), signs increased intracranial pressure mostly immediate intervention. <h3>Methods</h3> Observational...
Objective To compare a low versus higher threshold for intervention in preterm infants with posthaemorrhagic ventricular dilatation. Design Multicentre randomised controlled trial ( ISRCTN43171322 ). Setting 14 neonatal intensive care units six countries. Patients 126 ≤34 weeks gestation dilatation after grade III–IV haemorrhage were to (LT) (ventricular index (VI) >p97 and anterior horn width (AHW) >6 mm) or (HT) (VI>p97+4 mm AHW >10 mm). Intervention Cerebrospinal fluid tapping...
In recent years, intracranial hemorrhage (ICH) with parenchymal involvement has been diagnosed more often in full-term neonates due to improved neuroimaging techniques. The aim of this study is describe clinical and data the neonatal period relate imaging findings outcome a hospital-based population admitted level 3 intensive care unit (NICU).From our database, we retrospectively retrieved records images 53 term infants (1991-2008) whom an diagnosis ICH was made. Clinical data, including...
Objective To investigate the effect of a nursing intervention bundle, applied during first 72 hours life, on incidence germinal matrix-intraventricular haemorrhage (GMH-IVH) in very preterm infants. Design Multicentre cohort study. Setting Two Dutch tertiary neonatal intensive care units. Patients The group consisted 281 neonates, whereas 280 infants served as historical controls (gestational age for both groups <30 weeks). Interventions After training period, bundle was implemented and...
Very preterm infants often show germinal matrix-intraventricular hemorrhage (GMH-IVH) on cranial ultrasound (cUS).To determine the impact of low-grade GMH-IVH early neurodevelopmental outcome in very infants.A retrospective case-control study with and without cUS. Additional magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) was available all a gestational age (GA) <28 weeks high-risk >28 weeks. Infants were seen at 2 years' corrected to assess neurodevelopment.In total, 136 (GA 24-32 weeks) cUS matched 255...
<i>Background:</i> Preterm infants with progressive post-hemorrhagic ventricular dilatation (PHVD) in the absence of associated parenchymal lesions may have a normal neurodevelopmental outcome. <i>Objectives:</i> To evaluate and cognitive outcomes among preterm severe intraventricular hemorrhage (IVH) PHVD requiring neurosurgical intervention. <i>Methods:</i> 32 were admitted to neonatal intensive care unit intervention, seen follow-up clinic for...
Since 1992, infants with progressive posthaemorrhagic ventricular dilatation (PHVD) have been treated in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit, Wilhelmina Children's Hospital, Utrecht, The Netherlands, a reservoir.
Nosocomial infections are serious complications among preterm infants admitted to neonatal intensive care units (NICU). Hand hygiene is one of the most effective measures prevent these infections. This study, performed in a tertiary level NICU, highlights importance multimodal intervention program for adherence hand hygiene. The compliance with health workers NICU increased significantly from 23% baseline assessment 50% second and incidence sepsis decreased 13.4% 11.3% after implementation...
Objective: To describe our experience with a cohort of 295 infants progressive ventricular dilatation occurring in the antenatal or neonatal period.Methods: A search was performed cranial ultrasound database. All records and images whom an imaging diagnosis had been made were retrieved. In addition, modes treatment analysed.Results: Between February 1991 March 2012, neonates admitted to level 3 intensive care unit (NICU), developed for which they required intervention. majority these...
The presence of parents during a neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) admission is important for the well-being both infants and their parents. Therefore, aim this study was to identify parental in terms frequency, duration, activities NICU relation characteristics An observational performed Dutch level III NICU. All admitted more than 24 hours were included. One hundred sixty-two For median duration 3 4 day, at least one present. After first week after birth, 80% participated infant. A...
