Serial cranial ultrasound studies. 133X inhalation cerebral blood flow determinations, and risk factor analyses were performed in 31 preterm neonates. Contrast echocardiographic studies were additionally performed in 16 of these 31 infants. Sixty-one percent had germinal matrix [GMH] or intraventricular hemorrhage [IVH]. Of all hemorrhages, 74% were detected by the 30 postnatal hour. The patients were divided into 3 groups: early GMH/IVH by the 6th postnatal hour (8 infants) interval GMH/IVH from 6 h through 5 days (10), and no GMH/IVH (12). Cerebral blood flow values at 6 postnatal hours were significantly lower for the early GMH/IVH group than for the no GMH/IVH group (P < 0.01). Progression of GMH/IVH was observed only in those infants with early hemorrhage, and these infants had a significantly higher incidence of neonatal mortality. Ventriculomegaly as determined by ultrasound studies was noted equally in infants with and without GMH/IVH (50%) and did not correlate with low cerebral blood flow. The patients with early hemorrhage were distinguishable by their need for more vigorous resuscitation at the time of birth and significantly higher ventilator setting during the 1st 36 postnatal hours, during which time they also had higher values of PCO2 [partial pressure of CO2]. An equal incidence of patent ductus arteriosus was found across all of the groups. Early GMH/IVH may be related to perinatal events and the significant decrease in cerebral blood flow found in infants with early GMH/IVH is probably secondary to the presence of the hemorrhage itself. Progression of early GMH/IVH and new interval GMH/IVH may be related to later neonatal events known to alter cerebral blood flow.
