Once doctors have determined that the baby has bleeding into the brain or into the ventricles, the most important thing is for the doctors and the nursing staff to stay very informed on what’s happening to the baby.

Neonatal nurses keep very close tabs on how much the baby moves, how well the feedings are going, what the blood pressure is, how the IVs are working, and all the different medications that the baby needs to take. The doctors, of course, read the nurses’ notes, examine the babies, look at the x-rays, review with other doctors what’s happening with the baby, and keep very close tabs on the baby. Once they do that and if they keep things like the blood pressure in a normal range, if they make sure that the clotting studies are good, then the bleeding stops and much of the bleeding is going to go away then is absorbed by the body.

This of course can take weeks and sometimes months to happen, but when it does, in many cases, the baby does absolutely fine. Close follow-up is the thing that needs to be done in the neonatal unit, and that is what most neonatal units do.
