AAH Nursing Grand Rounds Recordings 2025: Advancing Neonatal Care: Identifying Risks for Intraventricular Hemorrhage During Transport

Intraventricular hemorrhage (IVH) in neonatal prematurity (≤ 1500 grams) remains a critical concern, with morbidity and mortality rates ranging from 20-40%. Identifying transport-related risk factors for IVH can guide clinical practices to enhance neuroprotection during neonatal transport to higher-level care NICUs. This presentation highlights findings from a multi-site retrospective study, evaluating how transport team interventions, maternal/fetal pre-existing conditions, and environmental factors impact IVH development. Participants will gain actionable insights into mitigating these risks.
