METHOD FOR PREDICTING INTRAVENTRICULAR HEMORRHAGES IN MATURE NEWBORNS

摘要

medicine. SUBSTANCE: method involves measuring cerebral hemodynamic characteristic values by applying ultrasonic dopplerography and calculating resistance index. The resistance index value being from 0.9 and higher during the first 12 h of baby life and its abrupt fall being observed during the following 12 h of life, intraventricular hemorrhages are to be predicted with 98.1% of accuracy. EFFECT: reduced perinatal mortality. 1 tbl
