Scottish Cooling Group

A great afternoon of sharing uncertainty and learning together at our annual Grey Case meeting, discussing how to minimise cooling in babies who don’t meet criteria, whether to cool late preterms or not, and how to get better at making earlier decisions to cool

Not cool! 🥶 Pilot study of cooling in mild HIE finds no benefit in MRI with either 48 or 72 hours of cooling compared to normothermia Need for ventilation and inotropes ⬆️ Trend of worse MRI in cooled babies! #PAS2023 #neoTwitter
