Encephalpathic infants due t causes ther than hypxia ischemia BACKGROUND DEFINITIONS Hypxic-ischemic encephalpathy (HIE) is a clinically defined syndrme f disturbed neurlgic functin in the first day f life in an infant, manifested by difficulty with initiating and maintaining respiratin, depressin f tne and reflexes, sub nrmal level f cnsciusness and ften seizures. This cnditin ccurs in 1-2/1000 newbrns and is a significant cause f nenatal mrtality and mrbidity. The risk f death r severe disability in survivrs f mderate-severe HIE is 60%. Induced mderate therapeutic hypthermia (33-34 C) has been shwn t be safe and decrease the incidence f death and disability with HIE. 1, 2, 3 INITIAL EVALUATION Eligibility Criteria fr Therapeutic Hypthermia1, 2, 3 1. Gestatinal Age 35 weeks AND 2. Infant less than 6 hurs f age (The decisin t start hypthermia after 6 hurs will be at the discretin f the nenatlgy attending) AND 3. Clinical signs cnsistent with encephalpathy (mderate, severe Table 1) AND 4. Evidence f intrapartum hypxia including ne f the fllwing: Page 2 f 11

CLINICAL MANAGEMENT Management at Birth Hspital and During Transprt 1. Start Passive Cling Immediately Advise referring prvider t turn ff exgenus heat surce (turn ff radiant warmer). 5 Earlier cling is assciated with better utcmes. 6 We d nt recmmend that active cling cmmence befre the arrival f the transprt team. 2. Cntinuus Temperature Mnitring Cntinuus temperature mnitring (rectal prbe) is preferred. Intermittent axillary temperatures are acceptable if skills and/r equipment are nt available fr cntinuus rectal temperature. Page 3 f 11

4 Target cre bdy temperature f 33.5 C (range C) (Usually achieved by turning ff exgenus heat surce). 3. Assess severity f HIE (prir t sedatives/narctics; see Table 1) 4. Obtain a bld gas and glucse Avid Hypglycemia: Glucse target: mg/dl 7 Avid hyperxemia 8, 9 and hypcarbia10, NPO, start IVF with D10W at 60ml/kg/day 6.
