May 12, 2023 updated by: Marwa Mohamed Farag, Alexandria University

The Impact of Passive Cooling Versus Blanket-Roll III on The Myocardial Function of Asphyxiated Neonates: A Randomized Clinical Trial

Studying the effect of passive versus Blanket roll III modality of therapeutic hypothermia (TH)on myocardial function of asphyxiated neonates through using tissue Doppler (TD).

Study Overview

Detailed Description

A clinical trial study of 100 Gestational-age-matched asphyxiated cooled neonates will divided into two groups, 50 in each group for comparison the myocardial function using passive cooling and BLANKET ROLL III as modality of TH.
