Therapeutic Hypothermia (Cooling Therapy for HIE)
About the Procedure
Therapeutic hypothermia is a specialized treatment used for newborns diagnosed with Hypoxic-Ischemic Encephalopathy (HIE), a condition caused by reduced oxygen supply to the brain during birth. Controlled cooling of the baby’s body temperature helps protect brain cells and reduce long-term neurological damage. Initiated within the first six hours of life, this therapy is carefully monitored in the NICU to ensure safety and effectiveness.
