Promising Preventive Strategies for Intraventricular Hemorrhage in Preterm Neonates: A Critical Review.

ABSTRACT: Intraventricular hemorrhage (IVH) is a common complication of prematurity and continues to represent a considerable threat due to its association with significant short- and long-term morbidity and mortality. Despite the advances in neonatal care, the prevalence of IVH, particularly in the extremely preterm neonates, remains high. Therefore, it is imperative to recognize and implement in clinical practice preventive strategies, non-pharmacological or pharmacological, to reduce IVH effectively. The aim of this narrative review is to provide an overview of novel and debatable preventive measures for IVH that are promising for clinical use and could potentially improve outcomes for very preterm neonates. IVH prevention bundles (IVHPBs) consist of strategies that aim to minimize hemodynamic an
