Abstract:
Objective To study the prevalence of intraventficular hemorrhage(IVH)in premature infants using bedside cranial ultrasound scans and to analyze the associated laboratory results.Methods 114 patients admitted between February 2003 and March 2004 were eligible for the study.NAS-2000A 3D ultrasound instrument for bedside ultrasound detection were used.All the premature infants were detected for blood gas analysis,blood cell analysis(red blood cell counting,haemoglobin and haematocrit),prothrombin time (PT),fibrinogen(FIB)and activated partial thromboplastin time(APTT)in the first 24 hours of life.Results There were 34 IVH cases in 114 patients(29.8%).The ineidence of IVH of premature infants below 34 weeks gestation was 43.8%,which was higher than that of infants above 35 weeks gestation.The incidence of IVH of infants whose birth weight were below 1 500 g is 58.8%,which was higher than that of infants whose birth weight were above 1 500 g.The incidence of IVH increased with decreasing gestational age and birth weight.As compared with the values of infants without IVH,HB and HCT of the IVH infants were higher (P＜0.05);PT and APTT of the IVH inrants were longer(P＜0.01);hypoxia,hypercapnia and acidosis were more common in IVH infants(P＜0.05).Conclusion Risk factors such as short gestational age,low birth weight,increased HB and HCT,prolongation of PT and APTT,hypoxia,hypercapnia and acidosis may be associated with the IVH in premature infants.
