In a prospective study at Sultan Qaboos University Hospital, 95 premature infants with birthweights equal or less than 1500g were screened for intraventricular haemorrhage (IVH) using cranial ultrasound. Nineteen (20 per cent) were found to have developed IVH. Eight out of fourteen variables studied showed a significant difference between infants who did and those who did not develop IVH. These variables were Apgar score at 1 and 5 min, mechanical ventilation (IPPV), blood transfusion, receiving boluses of sodium bicarbonate for correction of metabolic acidosis, the degree of acidosis, the degree, and duration of hypercarbia (CO2 > 8kPa).
