Exams and Tests has been expanded.
All babies born before 30 weeks should have an ultrasound of the head to screen for IVH. The test is done in the 1 to 2 weeks of life. Babies born between 30 to 34 weeks may also have ultrasound screening if they have symptoms of the problem.
A second screening ultrasound may be done around the time the baby was originally expected to be born (the due date).
