Topiramate concentrations in neonates treated with prolonged whole body hypothermia for hypoxic ischemic encephalopathy.

8 Sep 2009 PURPOSE: Therapeutic hypothermia reduces mortality and neurologic impairment in neonates with hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy. Topiramate exerts a neuroprotective effect in asphyxiated neonatal animal models. However, no studies have investigated ... Read more...

Passive induction of hypothermia during transport of asphyxiated infants: a risk of excessive cooling.

30 May 2009 BACKGROUND: Induced mild hypothermia is an emerging therapy that has been shown to reduce the combined outcome of death or severe neurodevelopmental disabilities in asphyxiated full-term infants if started within 6 h after birth. AIM: To study the ... Read more...

[Air or oxygen for neonatal resuscitation at birth?]

27 May 2009 Most of the contemporary guidelines on newborn resuscitation are based on experience but lack scientific evidence. The use of 100% oxygen is one of the more evident. Today, these practices are questioned, particularly for the resuscitation of ... Read more...
