Abstract

Aim: To assess staff adherence to a 'Preterm Brain Injury Prevention Bundle', and its effectiveness in reducing severe intraventricular haemorrhage (IVH) rates and risk factors in extremely preterm infants born at <26 weeks' gestation.

Methods: Adherence to the bundle was assessed using a novel bedside assessment tool, with immediate feedback to bedside staff post-assessment. Data on IVH rates and associated risk factors were stratified by IVH severity, and compared between pre- and post-bundle implementation.

Results: Of 203 bedside assessments, good adherence was observed in 12/28 items (43%), while the remaining items required improvement. Rates of grade 3/4 IVH reduced (39.2% pre-bundle vs. 19.0% post-bundle, p = 0.13). Thermoregulation and base excess improved (p = 0.02 and p = 0.04 respectively) after bundle implementation.

Conclusion: Reduced severe IVH rates post-bundle implementation may be attributed to staff education and improved clinical parameters. Adherence to the bundle interventions varied which highlighted target areas for future education.

通过床边评估和护理包的实施降低<26周早产儿严重脑室内出血的发生率。

目的：评估工作人员对“早产儿脑损伤预防捆绑包”的依从性，以及其在降低在该医院出生的极早产儿严重脑室内出血（IVH）率和危险因素方面的有效性。方法：使用一种新的床边评估工具来评估对捆绑包的依从性，并在评估后立即反馈给床边工作人员。IVH率和相关危险因素的数据按IVH严重程度分层，并在实施前和实施后进行比较。结果：203项床边评估中，有12/28项（43%）依从性良好，其余项目有待改善。3/4级IVH发生率降低（捆绑治疗前39.2% vs捆绑治疗后19.0%,p = 0.13）。捆绑实施后，体温调节和碱性过剩得到改善（p = 0.02和p = 0.04分别）。结论：实施捆绑治疗后严重IVH发生率的降低可能与工作人员的教育和临床参数的改善有关。对一揽子干预措施的依从性各不相同，突出了未来教育的目标领域。
