Article Synopsis
  • The study aimed to explore how persistent pulmonary hypertension (PPHN) and oxygen levels impact the outcomes of newborns with neonatal encephalopathy (NE) receiving therapeutic hypothermia (TH).
  • Out of 384 neonates with NE treated with TH, 24% had PPHN, showing they needed higher oxygen levels initially and had lower oxygen levels in the first few days.
  • The presence of PPHN was linked to increased intubation rates, hypotension, higher mortality, and a greater risk of brain injuries among the affected neonates.

To study the consequences of restricting fluid and sodium intake in asphyxiated newborns treated with hypothermia. We conducted a retrospective cohort study of asphyxiated newborns treated with hypothermia from 2009 to 2015. The fluid, parenteral nutrition, and sodium, as well as the urine produced per day, were calculated.

Objective: To determine if illness severity during the first days of life predicts adverse outcome in asphyxiated newborns treated with hypothermia.

Study Design: We conducted a retrospective cohort study of asphyxiated newborns treated with hypothermia. Illness severity was calculated daily during the first 4 days of life using the Score for Neonatal Acute Physiology II (SNAP-II score).

Purpose: Therapeutic hypothermia is the standard treatment for asphyxiated newborns. Since hypocapnia is common in these newborns, the aim of this study was to assess the association among hypocapnia, ventilation, and brain injury.

Methods: We conducted a retrospective cohort study of all asphyxiated newborns treated with hypothermia from 2008 to 2014.

Objective: This study aimed to assess the incidence of hypotension in asphyxiated newborns treated with hypothermia, the variability in treatments for hypotension, and the impact of hypotension on the pattern of brain injury.

Study Design: We conducted a retrospective cohort study of asphyxiated newborns treated with hypothermia. Mean blood pressures, lactate levels, and inotropic support medications were recorded during the hospitalization.
