Overview
Early standardized interventions aiming at cerebral spinal fluid (CSF) and blood removal, based on ventricular measurements, in PHVD, can reduce brain injury and improve neurodevelopmental outcomes. This presentation will address the variability in management of post-hemorrhagic ventricular dilation (PHVD) in the preterm infant, and aim to help providers understand the pathogenesis of PHVD and how it contributes to brain injury and recognize the association of ventricular size with neurodevelopmental outcome Recognize the importance of a standardized approach for early management of PHVD.
