Annually, over a million infants worldwide succumb to perinatal asphyxia and its complications, including neonatal encephalopathy, a primary contributor to cerebral palsy and cognitive deficits. Hypothermic neural rescue therapy, involving head or body cooling, significantly minimizes neuronal death, thereby preserving the neonatal brain and enhancing developmental outcomes. This therapeutic approach has become a revolutionary achievement in neonatal medicine. This book provides the scientific foundation for hypothermic neural rescue and presents the evidence supporting its effective implementation.
