The study aims to help babies with mild HIE (Hypoxic-Ischemic Encephalopathy), a condition where a baby's brain doesn't get enough oxygen and blood. It will compare two treatments: Therapeutic Hypothermia (TH), which cools the baby's body, and normothermia, which keeps the body at normal temperature. The study will look at how these treatments affect the baby's development by the time they are 2 years old and any side effects they might have on the family.
Key Points:
- The study includes 460 babies and lasts until they are 2 years old.
- Babies can join if they are born after 35 weeks, show signs of mild HIE, and have specific blood test results.
- Babies with severe conditions, very low birth weight, or certain medical issues cannot participate.
Doctors will decide which treatment each baby gets depending on the practice at their hospital. This study will help understand which treatment works better and its effects on the baby and family. If you think your baby might fit, talk to your doctor for more information.
