METHOD FOR ASSESSING SEVERITY OF INTRAVENTRICULAR HEMORRHAGE IN PREMATURELY BORN INFANTS

摘要

The method for assessing the severity of the intraventricular hemorrhage in the prematurely born infants comprises the biochemical examination of the blood. The lactate content is assessed on Days 1 and 7 upon the birth. When the lactate content amounts to 2.62-3.54 mmol/l on Day 1 and 3.78-4.22 mmol/l on Day 7, the intraventricular hemorrhage of Grade I is diagnosed. When the lactate content amounts to 3.67-4.75 mmol/l on Day 1 and 4.35-5.23 mmol/l on Day 7, the intraventricular hemorrhage of Grade II is diagnosed. Finally, when the lactate content amounts to 4.88-5.32 mmol/l on Day 1 and 5.57-5.93 mmol/l on Day 7, the intraventricular hemorrhage of Grade III-IV is supposed.
