Original Source: Therapeutic hypothermia for newborn infants with hypoxic-ischaemic encephalopathy.
Peripartum asphyxia complicated by moderate or severe hypoxic-ischaemic encephalopathy is a devastating global health issue. A therapeutic 'window of opportunity' exists after resuscitation of the asphyxiated newborn and before the delayed phase of neuronal loss. Animal studies demonstrated that neuronal injury following hypoxia-ischaemia can be prevented or reduced by a mild reduction in brain temperature. Human infant pilot studies confirmed feasibility, without major adverse effects. Randomised trials an...
