Therapeutic hypothermia for neonatal encephalopathy implications for neonatal units in India.
Therapeutic hypothermia has recently emerged from bench to bedside. Three large multicenter trials from industrialized countries and three independent meta-analyses have shown its efficacy in reducing death and disability following neonatal encephalopathy due a perinatal hypoxic event. Many neonatal units in well-resourced settings now offer hypothermia as standard care in neonatal encephalopat...
متن کاملOptimizing therapeutic hypothermia for neonatal encephalopathy.
OBJECTIVE Therapeutic hypothermia (TH) for neonatal encephalopathy is becoming widely available in clinical practice. The goal of this collaborative was to create and implement an evidence-based standard-of-care approach to neonatal encephalopathy, deliver consistent care, and optimize outcomes. METHODS The quality improvement process identified and used the Model for Improvement as a framewo...
متن کاملTherapeutic hypothermia for neonatal hypoxic ischaemic encephalopathy.
There is now a strong evidence base supporting therapeutic hypothermia for infants with moderate or severe neonatal hypoxic ischaemic encephalopathy. Experimental and clinical data indicate that induced hypothermia reduces cerebral hypoxic ischaemic injury and randomized clinical trials in newborns with hypoxic ischaemic encephalopathy confirm improved neurological outcomes and survival at 18 m...
متن کاملEmerging Use of Therapeutic Hypothermia for Neonatal Hypoxic Ischemic Encephalopathy
Objective: Several clinical trials evaluating the efficacy of hypothermia in neonates with encephalopathy have shown significant reduction in death and disability at 18-month follow-up. We sought to: 1) evaluate how the use of hypothermia for neonatal hypoxic ischemic encephalopathy (HIE) is changing in U.S. clinical practice, 2) determine which methods and devices for delivering hypothermia ar...
متن کاملNeonatal seizures and therapeutic hypothermia for hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy.
Neonatal seizures are associated with morbidity and mortality. Hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy (HIE) is the most common cause of seizures in newborns. Neonatal animal models suggest that therapeutic hypothermia can reduce seizures and epileptiform activity in the setting of hypoxia-ischemia, however data from human studies have conflicting results. In this research highlight, we will discuss th...
