Does anybody use Indometacina for preventing HIV in extrem preterm? Thanks a lot

 

do you mean HIV as in IVH (Intraventricular hemorrhage) or as in human immunodeficiency virus?

Thanks Francesco. Sorry.  I mean IVH (intraventricular hemorrhage). 

 

We do'nt use it. By my knowledge it is still unproven practice. If you want someone to discusse it I know one of my colleague who has some experiences in this regard. 

We use it in extreme circumstances: male preterm <700 g with no antenatal steroids who's had a vaginal unexpected birth. Sadly, ER-born extremely preterm births are becoming an issue in our hospital in the new COVID times. Prenatal care was perceived by some families as a risk factor during most of 2020.
