title: Nursing interventions to decrease the risk of periventricular-intraventricular hemorrhage.
abstract: Periventricular-intraventricular hemorrhage (PIVH) is a serious neurologic insult that can have lifelong consequences for the preterm infant and the infant's family. A review is presented of research on postnatal factors associated with the development of PIVH that can be influenced by nursing care. Recommendations are presented for nursing interventions that may lead to a decrease in the incidence or severity of this lesion.
