Safety and Efficacy of Hypothermia to Treat Neonatal Hypoxic-Ischemic Encephalopathy
May 1, 2009 updated by: Fudan University
Selective Head Cooling With Mild Systemic Hypothermia After Neonatal Hypoxic-Ischemic Encephalopathy: A Multi-Center Randomized Controlled Trial in China
The purpose of this study is to investigate the effectiveness and safety of selective head cooling (SHC) in neonatal hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy (HIE).

Detailed Description
Hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy (HIE) remains a major cause of neonatal death and long term disabilities.
Data from animal studies have shown protective effects of mild hypothermia to both the mature and immature brain.
Recently research priorities have moved from bench to bedside.
Several studies have shown a trend for brain protection of mild to moderate hypothermia and mild hypothermia has emerged as a promising treatment for HIE.
Therefore,the investigators organized a multi-centered randomized controlled trial of selective head cooling (SHC) combined with mild systemic hypothermia in HIE newborn infants.

No Intervention: Normothermia
Rectal temperature was maintained at 36.0-37.5 degree C.

Experimental: Hypothermia
The group was fitted with a cooling cap around the head for 72 hours.
The temperature of the cap could be adjusted between 5 to 20 degree C and was automatically regulated by a servo-controlled temperature probe placed in the nasopharynx to maintain the nasopharyngeal temperature at (34±0.2)degree C. All infants were nursed under a servo-controlled radiant warmer and the rectal temperature was maintained at 34.5 to 35 degree C. Head cooling was started within 6 hours after birth for 72 hours followed by spontaneous re-warming and the average time to reach the target temperature was 2 hours.

A semiconductor water circulation cooling device (YJW608-04B, Henyang Radio Manufactory, Hunan, China) was used to conduct head cooling.
The hypothermia group was fitted with a cooling cap around the head for 72 hours.
The temperature of the cap could be adjusted between 5 to 20 degree C and was automatically regulated by a servo-controlled temperature probe placed in the nasopharynx to maintain the nasopharyngeal temperature at (34±0.2)degree C. All infants were nursed under a servo-controlled radiant warmer and the rectal temperature was maintained at 34.5 to 35 degree C. Head cooling was started within 6 hours after birth for 72 hours followed by spontaneous re-warming and the average time to reach the target temperature was 2 hours.

Death
Time Frame: 18 months
|
The number of deaths by 18 months of age.

Severe Neurodevelopmental Disability
Time Frame: 18 months
|
Severe disability was defined as cerebral palsy (CP) or mental retardation (MR).
The definition of MR was development quotient (DQ) <70 by Gesell's Child Development Scale and CP was based on the Criteria of a level 3 to 5 by the Gross Motor Function Classification System (GMFCS).
