Area of Science:

  • Neonatal Medicine
  • Pediatric Neurology
  • Evidence-Based Practice

Background:

  • Extremely preterm infants (born <29 weeks gestation) are at high risk for acute brain injury.
  • Existing evidence supports neuroprotection interventions to mitigate brain injury risk factors.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To assess the impact of an evidence-based neuroprotection care bundle on brain injury risk in extremely preterm infants.
  • To evaluate the feasibility and effectiveness of implementing a comprehensive neuroprotection strategy.

Main Methods:

  • A neuroprotection care bundle including minimal handling, midline head position, deferred cord clamping, and optimized hemodynamic/respiratory management was implemented.
  • Interventions targeted risk factors during the first three days of life.
  • A pre-implementation and post-implementation comparison of the composite outcome of acute preterm brain injury or death was conducted.

Main Results:

  • Bundle implementation significantly reduced risk factors: inotrope use (24% to 7%), fluid boluses (37% to 19%), pneumothorax (5% to 2%), and opioid use (19% to 7%).
  • The neuroprotection care bundle significantly reduced death or severe brain injury (aOR 0.34) and severe brain injury (aOR 0.31) after adjusting for confounders.

Conclusions:

  • Implementation of a neuroprotection care bundle is feasible in clinical settings.
  • The care bundle effectively reduces acute brain injury and associated risk factors in extremely preterm infants.
  • This strategy offers a promising approach to improve neurodevelopmental outcomes in this vulnerable population.
