Therapeutic hypothermia for neonatal hypoxic ischaemic encephalopathy in sub-saharan africa: a scoping review
There are divergent views regarding therapeutic hypothermia (TH) for neonatal hypoxic ischaemic encephalopathy (HIE) in low- and middle-income countries. The aim of this review was to synthesize the literature describing TH for HIE in sub-Saharan Africa by searching Pubmed, Scopus, Google Scholar, …

Capsinoids, Non-Pungent TRPV1 Agonists, Induce a Mild Hypothermia That Provides Short- and Long-Term Neuroprotection After Ischemic Stroke
<p>Therapeutic hypothermia (TH) has demonstrated neuroprotection in instances of cardiac arrest and neonatal hypoxia/ischemia but faces different challenges in application to stroke due to the activation of cold defense mechanisms in conscious patients. This dissertation examines the efficacy and …

Cardiac arrest and therapeutic hypothermia: Prognosis and outcome
Abstract Therapeutic hypothermia (TH) is the only treatment available to reduce neurological sequels for unconscious patients following cardiac arrest (CA). TH requires sedation and muscular relaxation, obscuring the clinical neurological examination for estimation of prognosis, and clinical …

Predicting adverse neurological outcomes in infants receiving therapeutic hypothermia for hypoxic ischemic encephalopathy
Background: Hypoxic Ischemic Encephalopathy (HIE) is a categorization of term infants with brain injury caused by a lack of oxygen and/or blood flow to the brain. Despite, therapeutic hypothermia (TH) treatment, consequences of HIE can include life-long disability or even death. Current diagnostic …

The perceived barriers to timely therapeutic hypothermia treatment for neonates diagnosed with hypoxic-ischaemic encephalopathy when born outside the cooling facility within the private healthcare setting
Background Hypoxic-Ischemic Encephalopathy (HIE) is a debilitating neurological injury at birth due to a hypoxic event. The recommended treatment is therapeutic hypothermia (TH) provided at certain neonatal facilities and should commence within the treatment window of 6 hours (1). The outborn …

The Pattern of Ventricular Repolarization during Therapeutic Hypothermia
Therapeutic hypothermia (TH) is used in neuroprotection following cardiac arrest. Accidental hypothermia has been itself known to cause prolongation of the corrected QT interval (QTc). QTc prolongation can cause polymorphic ventricular tachycardia (VT) and ventricular fibrillation (VF). The …

Timing of Therapeutic Hypothermia & Short-Term Infant Outcomes
… Hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy (HIE) can result in devastating long-term neurological morbidity and/or death. Current evidence recommends initiating Therapeutic Hypothermia (TH), as early as possible, however, research specifically describing TH timing in relation to …

Altered cord blood biomarkers in neonatal brain injury
… Alterations in RNA and proteins observed at birth may have long-term effects on early life. Perinatal asphyxia (PA) accounts for a quarter of all global neonatal deaths. Early intervention is critical for developing strategies to improve long-term outcome. Early identifiers for infants at risk …

Prediction of the Outcome in Cardiac Arrest Patients Undergoing Hypothermia Using EEG Wavelet Entropy
<p>Cardiac arrest (CA) is the leading cause of death in the United States. Induction of hypothermia has been found to improve the functional recovery of CA patients after resuscitation. However, there is no clear guideline for the clinicians yet to determine the prognosis of the CA when patients …
