Surveillance Practice for Sonographic Detection of Intracranial Abnormalities in Premature Neonates : A Snapshot of Current Neonatal Cranial Ultrasound Practice in Australia
Copyright © 2020. Published by Elsevier Inc..
There are no publications reporting on scan duration and Doppler use during neonatal cranial ultrasound scans. We investigated current practice of neonatal cranial ultrasound at four large tertiary neonatal intensive care units in Australia. Cranial scans were prospectively recorded between March 2015 and November 2016. Variables, including total number of scans, scan duration and frequency and duration of colour and spectral Doppler mode, were extracted. A total of 196 scans formed the final cohort. The median (range) number of scans for each neonate was 1 (1-12). The median (range) overall total scan duration was 309 (119-801) s. Colour mode with or without spectral Doppler mode was used in approximately half of the cohort (106/196, 54%). Our findings comport with our hypotheses. Operators performing neonatal cranial scans in Australia have low overall scan durations. Although the use of Doppler mode during neonatal cranial scans is not standard practice in all neonatal intensive care units, it is used widely irrespective of the degree of prematurity or the presence of brain pathology. Further efforts are required to incorporate recommendations on scan duration and the routine use of Doppler mode during neonatal cranial scans. This is especially imperative given that the most vulnerable neonates with the greater neural tissue sensitivity are likely to be scanned more often.
