340 Reduction in Death or Moderate/Severe Disability by Whole Body Hypothermia for Hypoxic-Ischemic Encephalopathy (HIE)

Abstract: Background: Post-asphyxial hypothermia is protective in experimental animals; however, there have been no RCT evaluating safety and effectiveness of whole body hypothermia in term infants with HIE. Objective: To assess safety and effectiveness of whole body hypothermia in term infants with moderate and severe HIE. Design/Methods: A RCT was conducted of infants 36 weeks GA admitted 6 h of age with either a) a cord or first (Ͻ1 hour) pH Ͻ7.0 or BD Ͼ16 mEq/dl or b) a perinatal event and need for resuscitation, AN… Show more

“…Adverse Effects of Cooling: There were no reported serious adverse effects in initial four pilot studies of hypothermia in newborns [35][36][37][38]. The potential side effects reported later include Delayed intracardiac conduction with sinus bradycardia [39,40] [41].…”

“…This sequence of events was termed "secondary energy failure" to distinguish it from the "primary" decline in PCr and ATP and rise in lactate seen during the insult in experimental animal models of hypoxia-ischemia (HI) (10,11). The biphasic pattern of energy failure during and after HI has been the cornerstone behind the realization that neuroprotective strategies might interrupt the cascade of irreversible injury if administered within hours of a perinatal insult (12), and the concept has been an important catalyst in the development of neuroprotection trials with moderate hypothermia (13)(14)(15).…”
