Intraventricular hemorrhage (IVH) is a type of bleeding that occurs through the germinal matrix and comes through the ependymal cells into the ventricular cavity. It is mostly seen in preterm neonates but can also be seen sometimes in term neonates. Various factors predispose to preterm delivery; it can be spontaneous or medically induced.

Purpose: Neuro-endoscopic lavage (NEL) is an increasingly popular intervention for intraventricular haemorrhage (IVH) and post-haemorrhagic hydrocephalus (PHH), with considerable variation in technique dependent on clinician and clinical circumstances. Whilst efforts to standardise the technique are ongoing, this work describes a tertiary centre experience utilising NEL, highlighting potential caveats to standardisation.

Methods: A retrospective review of electronic case notes for patients undergoing temporising surgical intervention for IVH between 2012 and 2021 at our centre was performed.

There is currently no randomised trial evidence that supports the use of NEL in the context of PHVD.
