Abstract

Therapeutic hypothermia for infants with perinatal asphyxia has been studied in several randomised controlled trials. There is convincing evidence that moderate therapeutic hypothermia (33-34°C for 72 h), when initiated within 6 h after birth among term & near-term infants (≥35 weeks) with moderate to severe HIE reduces the risk of death or major disability & increases the rate of disability-free survival at 6-7 years of age.
