IVH Grading System and Prognosis

Dr. Taeun Chang, Neonatal and Fetal Neurologist from Children's National, explains the intraventricular hemorrhage grading system. While she does not like the system, she knows that it is widely used in the NICU therefore important to understand how most physicians define these stages.

This is so cool of an explanation of bleeds and hydrocephalus. I'm 49 and was born three months premature. I was diagnosed with an old bleed by by spinal tap. My CSF was the color of coffee grounds. By the time I was a month old I developed hydrocephalus. Based on the different grades of bleeds I'm probably a three. I am legally blind and I have mild cp and some memory issues. Medical technology has gotten so much better😅
