Detection and Quantification of Neonatal Intraventricular Hemorrhage

Completed

Conditions studied: Intraventricular Brain Hemorrhage

In brief

Dense array EEG and EIT (electrical impedence tomography) are new technologies that can add to information needed to diagnose neurological problems in infants - both preterm and term. The investigators propose a method to test these technologies in the preterm population to determine its safety and ease of use. The investigators will test on preterm infants of 30-34 weeks gestation, starting first with the older infants (32-34 weeks) then moving down to the smaller population (30-32 weeks). In both groups the investigators will start with a short time period and gradually extend the time as safety is established. All studies will be conducted at Shands Teaching Hospital at the University of Florida.

Who can join

Age: 1 and older, up to 1. Sex: any. Healthy volunteers: accepted.

You may qualify if…

• Preterm infants 30-34 weeks gestation.

You may not qualify if…

• Any infants with evidence of pre-existing skin condition, breakdown, rashes, or problems with skin integrity. Infants with a known neurological condition (hydrocephalus, Dandy Walker malformation, craniosynostosis, arteriovenous malformation) will be excluded as well. Also, secondary to the nature of the device and the surface area it takes up, infants on continuous positive airway pressure will be excluded as well.
