Journal of Child Neurology - Amplitude-Integrated EEG is useful in predicition of Neurodevelopmental Outsome in Full-Term Infants with Hypoxic-Ischemic Encephalopathy: A Meta-Analysis

Completed Zhengzhou University study to investigate whether systemic hypothermia induced up to 10 hrs after birth would improve the neurodevelopmental outcome at 18 months in infants with moderate or severe HIE.

2007 Icelandic study to assess the incidence, obstetric risk factors and the squela of severe asphyxia at Landspitali university hospital.

Clinical trial being sponsored by the Eunice Kennedy Shriver National Institute of Child Health and Human Development NICHD to evaluate whether induced whole-body hypothermia initiated between 6-24 hours of age and continued for 96 hours in infants ≥ 36 weeks gestational age with hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy will reduce the incidence of death or disability at 18-24 months of age.

Hundreds of babies in the world are being treated with brain cooling to prevent brain injury after they lose oxygen at birth. This study will use the newly developed information from the magnet resonance image to determine the actual temperature of the brain. This will enable researchers to determine if the brain is being uniformly cooled and if techniques that provide cooling need to be changed to improve the injury prevention from cooling

Objective of this study was to determine whether Apgar scores at 10 minutes are associated with death or disability in early childhood after perinatal hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy.

Completed research study of head cooling to determine whether cooling babies' heads can reduce or prevent brain damage that may have resulted from temporarily reduced oxygen supply to the brain

Future planned study being conducted by the University of California to determine the safety and pharmacokinetics of moderate to high doses of erythropoietin in newborn infants with birth asphyxia.

NIH PUbMed Abstract of Russian study documenting the Physical and neurological state of the newborn afer perinatal asphyxia.This paper is presented as modern conceptions about asphyxia origin, risk factors, neurological and systemic complications for child nervous system and organism.

Trakya University School of Medicine, Turkey study to evaluate the impact of the Neonatal Resuscitation Program (NRP) on morbidity and mortality of newborn infants with perinatal asphyxia. The study concluded that after Neonatal resuscitation (RP) courses, the number of patients with perinatal asphyxia and with no resuscitation and also the duration of hospitalization decreased significantly, whereas the first minute Apgar scores increased significantly.

PEDIATRICS Journal Abstract of study to determine whether serial head circumference measurements and decreased rate of head growth in asphyxiated full-term newborns during the first few months of life may predict the development of eventual microcephaly.
