In our groups there was no significant difference in the incidence of periventricular and intraventricular haemorrhages.

Etamsylate limits capillary bleeding through its action on hyaluronic acid and initial studies showed a reduction in intraventricular haemorrhage.

Beat to beat variability has been used as an indicator of hypovolaemia in preterm infants at risk of intraventricular haemorrhage.

Beside reducing respiratory distress, other neonatal complications are reduced by the use of glucocorticosteroids, namely intraventricular haemorrhage, necrotising enterocolitis, and patent ductus arteriosus.

Hofmeyr et al demonstrated this pressure surge in a term infant and postulated that it contributes to the development of periventricular and intraventricular haemorrhage in preterm infants.

The first of these two studies is referred to in Kinmond and colleagues' paper as showing a reduction in the incidence of periventricular and intraventricular haemorrhage with delayed cord clamping.

Repeated lumbar punctures are used widely to reduce the effects in increased intracranial pressure and an alternative to ventriculo-shunt (VP) surgery that cannot be performed in case of intraventricular haemorrhage.

An intraventricular hemorrhage (or intraventricular haemorrhage in British English), often abbreviated "IVH," is a bleeding into the brain's ventricular system, where the cerebrospinal fluid is produced and circulates through towards the subarachnoid space.
