This landmark book provides a comprehensive overview of hypothermic neural rescue therapy for neonates with perinatal asphyxia and neonatal encephalopathy, major contributors to cerebral palsy and cognitive impairments. By presenting the scientific rationale and evidence base for therapeutic hypothermia, the text equips clinicians with practical guidance to optimize neonatal outcomes. Written by internationally recognized experts, it addresses both the theory and hands-on application of cooling therapy in neonatal intensive care units. Key Features: Focuses on hypothermic neural rescue therapy to minimize neuronal death and improve developmental outcomes in neonates. Provides scientific underpinning and evidence-based guidelines for clinical practice. Includes practical, experience-based advice from internationally recognized authorities. Addresses both selective head cooling and whole-body hypothermia approaches. Designed for neonatologists, neonatal nurses, and pediatric neurologists. Integrates theory with step-by-step guidance for safe and effective implementation in neonatal intensive care units. Highlights the global impact of perinatal asphyxia and neonatal encephalopathy and strategies to reduce long-term complications.
