Abstract
Background: Intraventricular and germinal matrix hemorrhage (IVH) is still a common neurological complication of the premature infants due to functional and structural vulnerable vessels in this area of the brain. However, term infants undergoing corrective cardiac surgery within the neonatal period are subjected to various physiological extremes and possible alteration of cerebral and cardiovascular hemodynamics during and after surgery predisposing to vascular injury and development of IVH. The objective of the study was to elucidate the relationship between the change in cerebral hemodynamics and subsequent occurrence of IVH in a homogeneous group of term infants undergoing an uniform procedure of corrective cardiac surgery involving hypothermic cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB).
