ROP Guidelines

OP guidelines state first examination should be performed between 4 and 6 weeks of postnatal age , or between 31-33 weeks of post conceptional age (calculated as gestational age + post natal age), whichever is later.

Initial screening of ROP should be performed in all infants with:

  • Gestational Age 32 weeks
  • Birth Weight <1500 g
  • Infants weighing between 1500-2000 g with an unstable clinical course

Ideally 2 examinations must be performed however, 1 may suffice if examination shows complete retinal vascularisation.

Enrol to the course which suits you !
