Join this free webinar and discussion to explore strategies aimed at preventing intraventricular hemorrhage (IVH) in preterm newborns who are at risk, including antenatal, delivery room, and postnatal practices. Our investigation will encompass insights drawn from clinical trials, as well as the perspectives of caregivers who have participated in quality improvement initiatives. We will also engage in a comprehensive analysis of a systematic review that highlights various quality improvement endeavors targeted specifically at preventing IVH. |

Rates of Intraventricular Hemorrhage and Severe Intraventricular Hemorrhage Remain Level Since 2012 |
We examined the proportion of infants born at 22 to 29 weeks’ gestational age diagnosed with any IVH, grades 1 through 4, and severe IVH, grades 3 and 4.
Commentary in our latest NICU by the Numbers data brief from Katelin Kramer, MD and Elizabeth Rogers, MD explores quality improvement approaches and preventative strategies to address IVH. |
