    Moderate cooling of the brain through a cooling blanket between 32-34 degrees Celsius has been proposed to prevent brain damage and death in newborn infants suffering from hypoxic ischemic encephalopathy (HIE). A case study showed the cooling blanket was effective in avoiding death and preventing further progression of HIE. Following the results, discussion turned to making cooling blankets more cost-effective, determining if whole body or just head cooling is most effective, methods for rewarming infants, and how underdeveloped regions can access these tools.

    "Cooling for Newborns with Hypoxic Ischaemic Encephalopathy." WHO. N.p.,


    n.d. Web. 03 Nov. 2015.
    <http://apps.who.int/rhl/newborn/cd003311_ballotde_com/en/>.

    0.5-1 infants of 1000 are affected by H.I.E. during live births.


    Close to 60% of all babies with H.I.E pass away.
    Close to 25% of H.I.E survivors gain a significant handicap.
    Infants in developing countries have a greater risk of gaining and dying
    from H.I.E due to the lack of trained health professionals and
    equipment available.
    Moderate cooling of the brain (to between 32 and 34 degrees Celsius)
    has been proposed as a possible way of preventing brain damage and
    death in asphyxiated newborn infants.
    The equipment of this cooling process is called a cooling blanket.
    A case study, or review, was created to test the theory of the cooling
    blanket.
    The study proved that the cooling blanket was affective in avoiding
    death and preventing any further progression of H.I.E.
    After the conclusion of the results of the study, the discussion of H.I.E
    turned to more cost-effective ways of creating a cooling blanket, if
    cooling only the head or the whole body would be the most effective in
    treating the patient, methods of re-warming the baby, conditions for
    the baby to use the blanket, and ways for under-developed regions to
    receive the tools they need to combat this issue.

    This article was very beneficial to my presentation because it addressed the


    treatment of H.I.E which was the cooling blanket, and how it became relevant
    in the scientific community.
