Intracranial Pressure Measurement in Newborn Infants with Subependymal, Intraventricular Hemorrhage (SEH/IVH) and/or Ventriculomegaly after IVH: A Preliminary Report

Intracranial Pressure Measurement in Newborn Infants with Subependymal, Intraventricular Hemorrhage (SEH/IVH) and/or Ventriculomegaly after IVH: A Preliminary Report

Subependymal intraventricular hemorrhage (SEH/IVH) has become of a major and important clinical entity in neonates, especially in preterm infants who are born less than 1500 gram of body weight or less than 35 weeks of gestational age. We have developed a miniaturized paper strain gauge transducer,...

Zusammenfassung:Subependymal intraventricular hemorrhage (SEH/IVH) has become of a major and important clinical entity in neonates, especially in preterm infants who are born less than 1500 gram of body weight or less than 35 weeks of gestational age. We have developed a miniaturized paper strain gauge transducer, which atraumatically and continuously monitors the intracranial pressure (ICP) via anterior fontanelle. Using this sensor, 22 infants with SEH/IVH and/or ventricular dilatation after IVH were observed for monitoring ICP. ICP measurement in these infants offered useful information to assess the pathophysiological state of the intracranical space with developmental parenchyma.
