MRI Thermal Imaging of Infants Undergoing Cooling for Hypoxic Ischemic Encephalopathy(H... - 1 views

  •  
    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

Whole-Body Cooling for Birth Asphyxia in Term Infants - 1 views

  •  
    Acute birth asphyxia is a cause of death and neurological injury. At present, there is no proven treatment; however, studies in animals suggest that brain cooling may protect against brain injury. This large multicenter trial will randomize term infants with a history of problems at delivery and signs of depression to total body cooling or standard care.

TOBY: a Study of Treatment for Perinatal Asphyxia - 3 views

  •  
    Study sponsored by Imperial College London - Hypothesis: Study aims to determine whether whole body cooling to 33-34°C is a safe treatment that improves survival, without severe neurological or neurodevelopmental impairments at 18 months, of term infants suffering perinatal asphyxial encephalopathy
