- Abstract
Cerebral hypothermia has been shown to reduce damage from experimental hy-poxia-ischemia if started shortly after reperfusion. However, in the newborn infant it may not be feasible to determine prognosis so soon after exposure to asphyxia. The aim of this study was to determine whether head cooling, delayed until shortly before the onset of postasphyxial seizure activity, is neuroprotective.
