Abstract

Abstract In the last decade preterm birth rates have continued to rise hand in hand with improving neonatal care. Unfortunately rates of severe disability have remained static. National benchmarking of key outcomes shows significant variations in adaptation of best practices across United Kingdom (UK). While emerging technologies give us a glimpse of fascinating possibilities, widespread adoption of evidence-based interventions should remain a priority. In this article we have attempted to outline mechanisms of preterm brain injury and identify the most promising strategies currently available to minimize it. Quality improvement strategies (QI) that can help perinatal teams adopt best practices and promising new therapies are discussed.
