    Abstract:
    We found TH to be safe and effective in improving survival and neurodevelopmental outcomes following HIE in term children. Additionally, the use of a multidisciplinary team involved with these complex patients and the use of advanced monitoring techniques will likely assist in identifying second insults (ie, seizures), leading to more rapidly instituted treatments. Our study, however, had the limitation of including only retrospective data from patients in whom TH was provided. This makes it difficult to identify the specific sources for the improved outcomes and/or the presence of complications.
