Therapeutic Hypothermia for Neonatal Encephalopathy
Though long-term study results are beginning to be published and appear promising, there is still limited information regarding the childhood outcomes of encephalopathic infants treated with TH. Additionally, more research aimed at real-time evaluation of the effectiveness of TH could be useful for identifying adjunct treatments. Studies focused on these topics are in progress and the results will be helpful in developing the TH treatment process and improving outcomes for infants.
