Treatment of Term Infants With Head Cooling and Mild Systemic Hypothermia (35.0°C and 34.5°C) After Perinatal Asphyxia

Abstract

This study suggests that selective head cooling combined with mild systemic hypothermia of 34.4 degrees C or 35.0 degrees C is a stable, well-tolerated method of reducing cerebral temperature in term newborn infants after perinatal asphyxia.
