Neonatal Whole Body Cooling
Over the past several years, therapeutic hypothermia, or whole body cooling, has been used to treat HIE. Neonatologists at Inova Children's Hospital recommend this cooling treatment to help protect your baby's brain. By slowing the metabolism, there is evidence the procedure may reduce death and disability in babies with encephalopathy.

Therapeutic Hypothermia in Low-Risk Nonpumped Brain …
Targeted therapeutic hypothermia is an established neuroprotective intervention that entails inducing temperatures between 32 and 35 °C in select patients with stroke or cardiac arrest. 17-19 There has been increasing interest in the use of therapeutic hypothermia during the management of brain-dead donors given initial trial data …
Hypothermia therapy for the treatment of acute myocardial …
In patients with acute myocardial infarction (AMI) receiving percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI), the role of systemic therapeutic hypothermia remains controversial. We performed a protocol for systematic review and meta-analysis to investigate the effect of systemic therapeutic hypothermia in patients with AMI …
Therapeutic Hypothermia After Out-of-Hospital Cardiac Arrest:
Background—Therapeutic hypothermia (TH) improves survival and confers neuroprotection in out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA), but TH is underutilized, and regional systems of care for OHCA that include TH are needed. Methods and Results—The Cool It protocol has established TH as the standard of care for OHCA across a regional …

Therapeutic hypothermia for acute brain injuries
Therapeutic hypothermia, recently termed target temperature management (TTM), is the cornerstone of neuroprotective strategy. Dating to the pioneer works of Fay, nearly 75 years of basic and clinical evidence support its therapeutic value. Although ...
Cost-Effectiveness of Therapeutic Hypothermia After …
Background— Therapeutic hypothermia can improve survival and neurological outcomes in cardiac arrest survivors, but its cost-effectiveness is uncertain. We sought to evaluate the cost-effectiveness of treating comatose cardiac arrest survivors with therapeutic hypothermia. Methods and Results— A decision model was developed to …
Caring for Patients Treated With Therapeutic Hypothermia
The more recent use of therapeutic hypothermia after cardiac arrest to improve neurological recovery was instituted globally after publication of 2 landmark studies 2,3 in 2002. Bernard et al 2 and the Hypothermia After Cardiac Arrest Study Group 3 corroborated positive outcomes in patients with ventricular fibrillation. In both studies, …
