2010 ILCOR Recommendation: On the basis of the published data to date the Neonatal Task Force of the International Liaison Committee on Resuscitation (ILCOR) made the following recommendation on February 2010 with regard to therapeutic hypothermia: Newly born infants born at term or near-term with evolving moderate to severe hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy should be offered therapeutic hypothermia. whole-body cooling and selective head cooling are both appropriate strategies. Cooling should be initiated and conducted in neonatal intensive care facilities using protocols consistent with those used in the randomized clinical trials i.e. commence within 6 h, continue for 72 h and rewarm over at least 4 h. Carefully monitor for known adverse effects of cooling thrombocytopenia and hypotension. All treated infants should be followed longitudinally.
