Abstract

Abstract:

Intracranial hemorrhage (ICH) is a common serious complication in preterm infants. It is associated with abnormal neurodevelopmental outcomes and increased mortality, seriously reduces preterm infants' quality of life, and brings great pressure and heavy economic burden to their families and society. At present, many neonatal intensive care units (NICU) in developed countries are implementing various strategies to optimize the related adverse outcomes, so as to reduce the proportion of brain injury and mortality in preterm infants and improve their prognosis by evidence-based interventions. This article reviews the current status of intracranial hemorrhage researches and the introduction, development, achievements, challenges, and prospects of quality improvement.

Key words:

Premature infants, Intracranial hemorrhage, Quality improvement

摘要：

颅内出血是一种早产儿常见的严重并发症。其与异常神经发育结果和病死率增加有关，严重降低早产儿生存质量，并给家庭和社会带来巨大压力和沉重的经济负担。目前，发达国家多个新生儿重症监护病房正在实施多种策略来优化相关不良后果，通过实施循证干预，从而降低早产儿脑部损伤比例以及病死率，改善预后。本文对颅内出血研究现状、质量改进的引入与发展、取得的成就、挑战及展望进行综述。
